Question 1
A financial services company is building a calculation view to analyze loan application data. A key requirement is to dynamically filter the view by Loan_Type at runtime. The list of loan types is stored in a master data table, T_LOAN_TYPES, and should be presented to the user as a value help dialog. Which type of input parameter should be configured to meet this requirement?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C
The 'Column' input parameter type is specifically designed to derive its value help from the contents of a table column. By referencing the T_LOAN_TYPES table, the system will automatically generate a dynamic list of valid loan types for the user to select from at runtime. A 'Direct' type requires manual input without value help. A 'Static List' requires manually defining the values, which is not suitable for a list derived from a master data table. A 'Variable' is used for filtering but doesn't have the same configuration options for dynamic value help from a table.
