The Properties tab displays a tree view of outline properties. Typically, values are displayed next to the lowest level items.
Note: | To modify outline properties, use Outline Editor. |
The Information nodes display the following information:
Case-sensitive member names—True (Members whose names differ only by case are treated as multiple members.) or false (Members whose names differ only by case are treated as one member.)
Duplicate member names allowed—True (Duplicate member names are accepted.) or false (Unique member names are required.)
The duplicate member name setting is set when the database is created or in the Properties tab of Outline Editor.
Outline type—Aggregate storage, currency, or block storage
Outline type is set when a database is created. The setting cannot be changed.
Auto configure dimension storage type—For block storage databases, true (Essbase designates dimensions as dense or sparse.) or false (The default setting, which is sparse, must be maintained manually.)
Alias tables—A list of the alias tables associated with the outline
The Generation Names and Level Names nodes list, respectively, the names of the generations and levels. For example, in the Sample Basic database, Quarter is the name for generation 2 of the Year dimension, and SKU is the name for level 0 of the Product dimension. For outlines that permit duplicate member names, the nodes indicate, respectively, whether unique member names are required in particular generations and levels.
The Attribute Settings node displays settings for attribute dimensions and members.
Prefix/Suffix format—Settings that define the format for attribute members
Calculation dimension names—Names of the Attribute Calculations dimension and its members
Boolean, date, and numeric attribute settings—Name settings for members of Boolean and date attribute dimensions
Numeric ranges represent—Whether a value represents the top or bottom of an attribute range
Note: | Unless stated otherwise, you can use the Outline Editor Properties tab to define these properties. |
