You use the Global Mapping Member Selection dialog box to define global member mappings.
For information about advanced, area-specific member mappings, see Defining Area-Specific Member Mappings in Partitions (Optional)
The Dimensions tab of the Global Mapping Member Selection dialog box displays a tree view of the dimensions and members of the source or target database (depending on whether the dialog box was launched from the Source or Target column of the Areas tab). You select a member to insert it in the Source or Target column of the Mappings tab.
Note: | if you are working in a duplicate-member-name outline and you insert a duplicate member name, the qualified member name is inserted in the Source or Target column. |
You can modify the dimension tree in the following ways:
To view and select members by their names, in the View method group, select the By member name option.
If you are working with a block storage database, to view and select DTS members, in the View method group, select the By Dynamic Time Series option.
If you selected the “By member name” option and want to use aliases, select the “Use alias” option to display aliases from the current alias table. For members that do not have aliases, the member names are displayed.
Note: | Because you are selecting members, By generation name and By level name do not apply. |
To display the Find Members dialog box, which you use to search the dimension tree, you click the Find Members button. To display the Member Information dialog box, which displays information about the member selected in the tree, you click the Find Information button.
The Find Results tab lists the members that match a Find Members request. See Find Results Tab.
