Outline Viewer displays members immediately. In contrast, Outline Editor displays members only after the outline is loaded into memory on the Essbase Administration Server computer.
Description of the Outline tab of Outline Viewer:
Dimensions are located on the branches immediately below the database name.
Members are located on the branches below the dimension names.
Next to each dimension and member name is displayed information about the dimension or member.
You can expand and collapse dimension and member hierarchies.
You can divide the view into multiple views.
You can display a secondary pane that describes the properties of a dimension or member by right-clicking it.
You can view the attributes of a member by right-clicking it and selecting “Attribute Viewer.”
You can customize Outline Viewer so that the Outline tab displays only selected information. In any case, Outline Viewer displays less information than is displayed in Outline Editor.
