When naming dimensions, members, and aliases, follow these rules:
For dimensions, members, or aliases, use no more than 80 characters.
Do not use HTML tags in member names, dimension names, aliases, and descriptions.
Do not use quotation marks, brackets, backslashes, or tabs. Brackets are permitted but not recommended in block storage outlines. They cause errors when converting to aggregate storage outlines.
To begin dimension or member names, do not use these characters:
at signs
backslashes
brackets
commas
dashes, hyphens, or minus signs
equal signs
less than signs
parentheses
periods
plus signs
quotation marks
underscores
vertical bars
Do not place spaces at the beginning or end of names. Such spaces are ignored.
Do not use forward slashes in member names.
For time periods in custom calendars, do not use spaces in prefixes.
Do not use these words as dimension or member names:
Calculation script commands, operators, and keywords.
Function names and function arguments.
Names of other dimensions and members (unless the member is shared).
If Dynamic Time Series is enabled, do not use History, Year, Season, Period, Quarter, Month, Week, or Day.
