Define a use case category for conditions

This step is required only once when you start defining conditions. Once you have created a use case category, it is valid for all conditions you define.

  1. In the Presentation tab of Alfabet Expand, expand the explorer node XML Objects.
  2. Right-click on the XML object UseCaseCategories in the explorer and select Edit XML. The XML object opens in the middle pane.
  3. Enter the following code as child element of the XML element UseCaseCategories:
    • <UseCaseInfo UseCase="Conditions">
      • <ScopeInfo Scope="Report" Categories="CommaSeparatedListOfCategories" />
    • </UseCaseInfo>

    The XML attribute Categories must be set to either one category name or a comma separated list of category names. Please note that a category name is a technical name and should not contain special characters or whitespaces. All category names that are defined can be used in the Category attribute of a configured report to make the report available in conditions.

    In some databases you will already find a preconfigured use case category for conditions. You must not add a second one. You can add any category name to the already available list or reuse the defined category names.

  4. In the toolbar, click Save  Save_Expand.
