Table 2-2 Icons and Menu Options in Oracle BI Applications Configuration Manager

Icon or Menu Option	Description
	Add Use the Add icon (or + symbol) to add an object. For example, click the Add icon on the Define BI Applications Instance - Source Systems tab to add a new Source System.
	Set parameter value before full data load This icon indicates that the value of a Data Load Parameter must be set before you perform a full load of data from the source instance to Oracle Business Analytics Warehouse.
	Edit Use the Edit icon (or pencil symbol) to edit the object that is currently selected in the table. For example, click the Edit icon on the Define BI Applications Instance - Source Systems tab to edit the currently selected Source System details. Alternatively, click on the value in the Parameter Value column to edit the value.
	Global Parameter This icon indicates that the parameter is global (that is, it applies to all (or a majority of) ETL tasks).
	Go To Top Use this icon to display the all nodes in the domain hierarchy.
	Go Up Use this icon to display the next highest level of nodes in the domain hierarchy.
	Overridable Parameter This icon indicates an overridable Application Specific parameter. An Overridable parameter icon indicates that each associated Fact Group or Dimension Group can have a different value.
	Parameter This icon denotes a parameter. For Data Load Parameters, if displayed in the Data Load Parameters pane (or top list), then this icon indicates an Application Specific parameter. If displayed in the Group Specific Parameter Values For pane (or lower list), then this icon indicates a Non-Overridable Application Specific parameter, which means that each associated Fact Group or Dimension Group must have the same value. In other words, if you change the value for one Fact Group or Dimension Group, then all Fact Groups and Dimension Groups are updated with that value (if you first confirm at a Warning dialog).
	Show as Top Use this icon to display only the currently selected parent node and child nodes. Note: This icon is only active for child nodes.
	Read Only Parameter This icon indicates that a Data Load Parameter parameter value is read-only, which means that you cannot change that parameter value on the Manage Data Load Parameter dialog.
	Parameter Category This icon denotes a grouping of related parameters, for example, the Configure Time Dimension category is a group of parameters that are related to calendars. To expand a Parameter Category, click Expand: To collapse a Parameter Category, click Collapse:
	Query By Example Use the Query By Example icon to toggle the display of the Query By Example fields above each display column. When Query By Example fields are displayed, enter a value into a Query By Example field and press [Enter] to search for records that match that value. To clear a query, clear the text in the Query By Example field and press [Enter] again. For example, to search for parameters with names beginning with Global, type Global in the query box above a Name column, then press [Enter]. To clear the query, clear the text 'Global' from the query box above the Name column, then press [Enter].
	Select Date Use the Select Date icon to toggle the Calendar pane, which enables you to select a date. For example, on the Export Setup Data tab, select January 1 2010 to display only files that were exported on that day.
	Start Search Use the Start Search icon to display parameters matching the value or wildcard specified in the adjacent text box.
