IBM Planning Analytics Workspace (PAW) allows you to easily create selector widgets that can be used for updating the data in your PAW book. This is done by adding a dimension as a selector widget.

You can edit the list of elements (e.g., the set) and the way the list appears. The selector widget allows you to easily select an element that is synchronized to your charts and explorations. When selecting the element, a border appears around the widget.

While this border offers features such as the ability to expand the screen, it clearly makes the list into a separate section of the page. You can remove the border by using the property called “Show selected border in preview” (within the area called General, Appearance). Here is the same list without the border enabled:

This property will allow you to create the perception of a single page and not a set of independent objects.
