Bookmarks in Jedox Reports
One of the common questions I hear from Jedox beginners is:
“Can I save my current report selections and come back to them later?”
Think of a sales manager who always wants to review:
Region = DACH
Version = Actual
Year = 2025
Currency = EUR
Setting these variables every single time quickly becomes annoying.
This is where Bookmarks for variables come in.
In this post, I’ll show you a simple, elegant solution to save and restore variable values in Jedox reports — using one dimension and a few report actions. No magic, no complex scripting.
What Are Variable Bookmarks?
A bookmark is a saved snapshot of variable selections in a report.
Instead of asking users to remember or reselect combinations of:
Year
Version
Region
Product
Scenario
…we let them save these values once and reapply them later with one click.
Typical questions solve:
“Can I save my monthly reporting setup?”
“Can different users have their own presets?”
“Can I switch between scenarios quickly during a meeting?”
The answer is yes, with a surprisingly simple model.
