These wizards can be used to create either a selector or a chart by setting a few properties. You can use the following types of wizards:
- OLAP Selector wizard
- OLAP Chart wizard
- Saiku OLAP Wizard
Using the configuration pane, you can select an MDX Cube, and from that cube you can select measures and metrics to generate a result set which you want to display in a selector or chart. The configuration pane features a preview area where you can view how your chart or selector will work.
There are specific settings which can be set for either the selector or the chart wizard. The selector wizard allows you pick from select, radio box, or multiple selector options whereas the chart wizard provides selection options for bar, pie, line, and dot charts. After setting your options, clicking Ok adds a mdx over mondrianJndi data source to the Datasources pane.
The wizard creates this data source, setting all the necessary parameters as well as the query for the data source to properly execute. The selector wizard also creates a parameter and a select component from the selections we made in the wizard, in the Components pane on the Components perspective.
When creating a chart using the OLAP Chart wizard, a chart component is generated rather than the OLAP parameter and select component.
