More Query Toolbar Functions
Option Function
InfoProvider Displays the content of the InfoProvider upon which the query is based; from here you can include
objects in the query by using drag and drop.
Filter Shows the Filter screen area. You specify the filter values of the query here.
Rows/ Shows the Rows/Columns screen area. Here you specify the free character-istics for navigating in
Columns the query and the contents of the rows/columns.
Cells You can define formulas and selection conditions explicitly for cells in queries with two structures.
This function is only available for queries with two structures.
Conditions You can define conditions for a query. You can specify threshold value conditions for the key figure
values for every characteristic. For example, you can specify all sales figures above or below a
certain threshold value. In the query, the selected characteristics are displayed with the restricted
key figures.
Exceptions You can define exceptions for a query. Exceptions, deviations in key figure values that you define,
are displayed in color in the query view. This allows you to see at a glance whether results deviate
from the expected results.

More Query Toolbar Functions (cont.)
Option Function
Properties Shows the Properties screen area. The content of the Properties screen area automatically
adjusts itself. Depending on the object that you select, the properties appear as context sensitive.
Tasks Provides an overview of the functions and options available to you while you are working in the
query.
Messages Displays system messages, check messages, warnings, and other information. From the context
menu of the message, you can navigate to the actual error, or display information about the error.
Where-Used List When you choose Query → Where-Used List, the Query Designer displays the objects
(workbook, Web template, report, or broadcast setting) in which this query is used.
Documents When you select the Explain Error Message function, the system message texts are displayed
here.
Technical Names Shows or hides the technical names of the query components (InfoObjects, structures, variables,
and so on).
