Customizing experience levels

As the Actuate Information Console Administrator, you can create and modify experience levels. You modify a level by adding or removing HIDEITEM entries to hide or not hide a part of the Cube Viewer user interface. The following tables, which are organized by their user interface component, describe these entries. The Experience level column shows the most restricted experience level that displays the user interface component. For example, Standard indicates that both Standard and Advanced show the element but that Novice does not. An experience level of None means that none of the supplied levels show that element.

Display of the Cube Viewer horizontal bars are controlled with the elements in Table 1-7.

Cube Viewer toolbar buttons are controlled with the elements in Table 1-8.

Presentation or analysis view

Some toolbar buttons have their own menus. The menu items are controlled with the elements in Table 1-9, grouped by button.

Text (.txt tab separated)
Log on as view administrator

The menu items shown after a right-click on a table view, bar chart view, or line chart view are controlled with the elements that are shown in Table 1-10.

Show cell value with calculation results

The menu items shown after right-click on various axis components are controlled with the elements shown in Table 1-11

Hide selected or unselected subcategories
Hide rows and columns with no data
Hide rows and columns with zeros

When modifying elements in experience.levels, do not remove the following entries:

<HIDEITEM>EDIT_TITLE</HIDEITEM>
<HIDEITEM>ADMIN_LOG_ON</HIDEITEM>
<HIDEITEM>VIEW_SOURCE</HIDEITEM>

These features are not supported in Actuate Analytics, and these elements must appear under every <EXPERIENCE_LEVEL> element. The NUMBER_OF_LEVELS element value must correspond to the number of experience levels defined in the file. The DEFAULT_EXPERIENCE_LEVEL element value specifies the default experience level to use if no level is specified for a user. For information about using experience level items in the Cube Viewer, see Working with Cube Reports using Actuate Analytics Option.
