  Key Concepts: 
  A static set is a type of object in SAP BusinessObjects Information Design Tool (IDT) that is used to define a set of values that will not change over time. It is typically used to define a list of values that are used in a report or dashboard. For example, a static set could be used to define a list of countries or regions that are used in a report. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To create a static set, open the IDT and select the “Static Set” option from the “Create” menu. Enter the name of the static set and then enter the values that should be included in the set. Once the values have been entered, click “Save” to save the static set. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a static set, it is important to ensure that all of the values are spelled correctly and are consistent with other values in the system. This will help ensure that reports and dashboards using the static set will display accurate results.
