• Key Concepts: 
  Group of input controls is a feature of SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise (BI-BIP-BOE) that allows users to create a group of input controls that can be used to filter data in a report. Input controls are used to limit the data that is displayed in a report, and by grouping them together, users can quickly and easily apply multiple filters to their reports. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To create a group of input controls, users must first create the individual input controls. This can be done by selecting the “Input Controls” option from the “Tools” menu in SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise. Once the individual input controls have been created, they can be grouped together by selecting the “Group Input Controls” option from the “Tools” menu. This will open a window where users can select which input controls they want to group together. Once the group has been created, it can be applied to any report in SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a group of input controls, it is important to remember that each input control must have a unique name. This will ensure that the group of input controls can be applied correctly to any report. Additionally, it is important to remember that each input control must have a unique data type. For example, if one input control is an integer, then all other input controls in the group must also be integers.
