You use the Define Dynamic Time Series Members dialog box to enable and disable Dynamic Time Series (DTS) members, to associate DTS members with generations, and to specify aliases for DTS members.
The Series column lists the eight system-defined DTS members, listed from longest to shortest; for example, S-T-D (season to date) precedes P-T-D (period to date).
H-T-D
Y-T-D
S-T-D
P-T-D
Q-T-D
M-T-D
W-T-D
D-T-D
By selecting or clearing an Enabled column option, you enable or disable the member associated with the option.
In the Gen column, you select a generation number (one number per enabled member). You cannot associate DTS members with level 0 members of the time dimension, and you should not assign a generation number to multiple members.
When you select a generation number for a system-defined member, Essbase applies a predefined generation name (History for H-T-D, Year for Y-T-D, Season for S-T-D, Period for P-T-D, Quarter for Q-T-D, Month for M-T-D, Week for W-T-D, and Day for D-T-D). DTS member and generation names are reserved for use by Essbase. For example, if you use a reserved DTS generation name to name a generation on the time dimension, Essbase creates and enables the DTS member associated with the generation name, such as H-T-D for History.
If you want to assign aliases to a DTS member, in the Default column, in the member row, enter one or more aliases (one each from one or more alias tables).
