You can define inclusive and exclusive dependencies for design time prompts. If you designate a prompt as inclusive, the selections a user can make for prompts displayed are dependent on the selection the user makes for the inclusive prompt. For example, if you designate prompt 1 as inclusive, and the user selects the Account dimension for prompt 1, the selections for prompts after prompt 1 display only the Account dimension.
If you designate a prompt as exclusive, the selections a user can make for prompts displayed are not dependent on the selection the user makes for the exclusive prompt. For example, if you designate prompt 1 as exclusive, and the user selects the Entities dimension for prompt 1, the selections for prompts after prompt 1 display all dimensions except the Entities dimension.
To define dependencies for cross dimension, dimensions, dimension, member, members, and member range design time prompt types:
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 Templates.
Right-click the custom defined template for which you want to define dependencies, and select Open.
In the design time prompt table, select one of these design time prompt types:
Cross Dimension
