Button for customised filtering in accordance to hierarchy

Hello Pigment Community,I hope you're all doing well!I have a 4-level hierarchy for dimensions, ranging from L4 to L1 (screenshot attached). Currently, I’m displaying the L2 level (e.g., Vintage I, Vintage II, etc.), as shown in the attached screenshot. What I’d like to achieve is to create a button that filters the view based on the parent dimension (Fund 1, Fund 2, etc.). For example:If "Fund 1" is selected, the view should only display the L2 items (e.g., Vintage I, Vintage II) associated with Fund 1. Similarly, selecting "Fund 2" would filter the view to display only the L2 items linked to Fund 2.I understand we can use page selectors, but I want this set up for a specific widget and not for the whole board.Could someone guide me on how to set this up? Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thank you in advance!

Acting as two users

I am now in the process of creating an integration user for all the import set ups so the ownership is not tied to a specific person. But in process of doing that I was wondering if there is a way to switch between those accounts while working in the system? Or will I need to always log out and log in with the new user?

Import into Dimension List - with property generating unique IDs (Fail)

Hello, I’m trying to import a csv file (Employee referential) into a Dimension List (Employee Referential List). The target Employee List has 5 properties : ID (“generate unique ID” setting toggled), Name, Country, Cost Centre & Salary band. I’ve set the ID property with the “generate unique ID” parameter (+Integer format), because the CSV file has 2 employees with the exact same name (but not the same country).I get an error message preventing me to run this process (in the “map data” step): “The unique Property “ID” has to be mapped”. (the source is grayed since it’s an automatic property.) Is there a problem somewhere? Pigment doesn’t allow a direct import to a dimension list having an “auto-generated ID” property? (Sorry if this was mentionned in one of the academy paths, but didn’t find this precise information. I just found that it is possible with a transaction list, but a dimension list should be more appropriate since we are talking about a referential update).Below the ma

Circular References Across Applications

I am trying to build a metric to forecast interest income on corporate cash. To do so, I’d like to reference our forecasted cash balance from the balance sheet & cash flow statement. This becomes circular since our interest income rolls into net income which then drives our indirect cash flow statement. I believe I could accomplish it by using the previousbase() function but the various metrics are all across different applications. The interest income & revenue metrics sits in a revenue application that feeds into a nexus in the data hub which then feeds the cash flow statement in a financial reporting application. Does anyone know a way to create this metric given the above criteria?

Can Notifications Be Sent to Groups in Pigment?

Hi Pigment Team,I hope you’re doing well.I have a question regarding the notification settings in Pigment. Specifically, I would like to know if it’s possible to send email notifications directly to a group created within Pigment.This need arises from a requirement to send notifications to a mailing list. While I understand that mailing lists are not directly supported in Pigment, I was exploring whether using groups could serve as an alternative.I’d appreciate it if you could clarify whether this functionality is currently supported, and if not, whether there are any workarounds or future plans to include it.Thank you for your time and assistance!Best regards,Bogachan Fatih
