An Option to Prevent an Orphan Measure in Last System with Update Layout
IWBNI it were possible to specify that the function Update Layout should cause there to be more than one measure on the last system. As it is now, measures may be moved manually from one system to the next by using the mass mover tool to move additional measures to the last system as needed.
This could be implemented by adding the following controls to the Update Layout Options dialog box:
--------------------------------------------------------------
Update Layout Options Dialog Box
Minimum Number of Measures in Last System: _____
Move Measures as Needed to: ( ) Previous ( ) Next System --------------------------------------------------------------
For example, with these controls one could specify that there should be at least 2 measures in the last system. The options for Move Measures as Needed to would be used to specify whether measures should be moved forward or backward when making automatic adjustments to satisfy the constraint imposed by Minimum Number of Measures in Last System.
