• Prompts defined at the universe level are greyed out when there is another filter applied while creating the query in Dashboards.

Scenario 1:

1. Create a variable at the BW or HANA level.
2. In Dashboards, create a query with a filter i.e. drag a object in the filter section.

It is observed that the BW/HANA variable is grayed out.If the filter in the query browser is not applied then the BW/variable is not grayed out.

Scenario 2:

1. Create a prompt in the IDT.
2. In Dashboards, create a query with a filter i.e. drag a object in the filter section.

It is observed that the prompt defined in IDT is grayed out.If the filter in the query browser is not applied then the BW/variable is not grayed out.

The filtering of data cannot be done at both the BW/HANA level and the Dashboards level.

Data should be filtered either at the BW/HANA level or at the Dashboards level but not on both the levels.
