User`s guide

Note:
• If Apply Current Query is not selected, Restrict to Current Selection is not available.
• When you view a report using the Siebel Mobile Web Client and the BI launch pad, the report
always uses the query and selection options that you chose when you created the report.
• To use the Apply Current Query functionality in the BI launch pad, the report must use the same
Business Component as the Siebel view that you link it to.
24.3.2.4.1 Apply Current Query
Siebel allows a user to filter information displayed in any view by applying a query. If Apply Current
Query is selected when using the Server connection type, the query applied in Siebel is applied to the
Crystal report when the report is published to SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence platform.
For example, if a query in Siebel has restricted the list of Accounts to only those that begin with "A",
such as shown in the image below, only these accounts will be visible in the Crystal report.
Note:
• Apply Current Query takes effect only if the same business component is being used in the report
and in the current Siebel view; otherwise the a "Database Connector Error" message will display if
you attempt to view or schedule a report.
• Apply Current Query applies only to Crystal reports that are linked to Siebel views.
24.3.2.4.2 Restrict to Current Selection
If you select Apply Current Query, you can also choose to select Restrict to Current Selection. Selecting
Restrict to Current Selection further restricts the records displayed in a Crystal report to the record
highlighted in Siebel. This allows you to select a single record and produce reports on its elements.
For example, if you apply a query that restricts the list of Accounts to only those that begin with "A,"
and then further highlight a specific record in your view and select both Apply Current Query and Restrict
to Current Selection when connecting to Crystal Reports with the Local (Active Dedicated Session)
connection type, the Crystal report will show information only for this record. If you select both Apply
Current Query and Restrict to Current Selection when connecting to Crystal Reports with the Server
connection type, the record that is highlighted in Siebel is applied to the Crystal report but will only be
visible after the report has been published to SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence platform.
