Manage Pre-Query Bookmarks

Pre-query bookmarks allow you to save multiple pre-query slicer selections for a data discovery. You can then select the required bookmark to load multiple slicer selections into the query, rather than manually changing each of the slicers.

Note: this feature is not supported for SAP Hana or BW models containing predefined parameters.

Managing Pre-Query Bookmarks

Bookmarks can be edited and deleted from the Bookmarks dialog, which is opened by selecting a bookmark (yellow highlight below) and clicking the edit icon (purple arrow below) from the Pre-query Slicer dialog,

The Pre-query Slicer dialog appears automatically when opening a discovery containing pre-query slicers. It can also be opened from the Report tab of a discovery containing pre-query slicers (purple highlight below).

Bookmarks Dialog

The Bookmarks dialog lists all your pre-query slicer bookmarks:

Each row in the list displays actions, bookmark name, and the time and date it was last modified.

  • Update: update the bookmark.
  • Edit: rename the bookmark or add a description.
  • Delete: delete the bookmark.

Edit Bookmark Name and Description

By default, each bookmark is named according to its first 2 slicers, and the description lists the slicer selections contained in the bookmark. To edit a bookmark's name or description:

  1. Select the bookmark from the Pre-query Slicers dialog.
  2. Click the Edit Bookmarks button.
  3. From the Bookmarks dialog, click the Edit button for the corresponding bookmark (green arrow above).
  4. Enter the required title and/ or description.
