Question:
Hi SAPFANS,
I am currently building a set of Web Applications. They are mainly driven by various charts. I would like to provide users with the ability to filter freely but not to drill down.
The most generic solution in the applications would be to use the Generic Navigation Block Web Item. Is there any simple way that I can hide the drill down and drill across icons from this web-item?
Cheers
Jorgen
Answer:
Does anyone have an answer to this please? Thanks

Hello,
I am also interested in a solution to this one. Has anyone found one?
Thanks.
Answer:
The way that I have done this in the past is to use the Web Table API to hide the icons in the navigation block. You also have to remove this from the context menu to make sure they do not drilldown using the menu. You will need to use the NAV_BLOCK_VALUE and/or NAV_BLOCK_LABEL in your method.

Answer:
There is a feature on the nav block that I believe is available from version 3, but it may be a 3.5. In the web item properties of the nav block, under specific, there are 5 'Display' properties -
Display characteristics in rows
Display characterisitcs in columns
Display free characteristics
Display navigation icons
Display filter icons
If you uncheck the 'display navigation icons' box, they can't drilldown or across, but can still filter.
Apologies if it is only from 3.5.
