Removing Members and Functions from a Component

You can remove members from formula, script, condition, and member and data range components. You can remove functions from formula, script, and condition components.

When you remove members and functions from a component, they are not deleted from the database. If you want to remove members and functions from a shared component, you must make the component not shared first.

  To remove members or functions from a component:

  1. In the System View, expand the Financial Management, Planning, or Essbase application type, the application, the calculation type (for Financial Management), the plan type (for Planning), or the database (for Essbase), and Rules or Templates, depending on whether the component is in a business rule or template.

  2. Do one of these tasks:

    • Right-click the template that contains the component you want to add a member to, and select Open.

    • Right-click the business rule that contains the component you want to add a member to, and select Open.

  3. When the business rule or template opens, in its flow chart, select the component that contains the member or function you want to remove.

  4. Click the Actions icon, and select Member.

  5. In Member Selector, from Dimensions, select the dimension that contains the member or function you want to remove.

  6. Use the left arrow to move the member or function from Selections to Members or Functions. See Table 9, Member Selector Buttons.

  7. If you want to remove members from multiple dimensions, click Next, and repeat step step 5 and step 6.

  8. Click OK.

  9. Select File, Save.
