Use the Dynamic Time Series dialog box to enable and disable dynamic time series members and to associate them with a generation. You can use eight predefined dynamic time series members to calculate dynamically period-to-date values. You can also specify alias names for dynamic time series members.
To set the values of a dynamic time series:
Access the dimension properties tabs of the Essbase Model Properties dialog box using the procedure in Accessing the Dimension Properties Tabs.
Select one of the following predefined Dynamic Time Series by selecting the check box to the left of the applicable series:
H-T-D—History-to-date
Q-T-D—Quarter-to-date
Y-T-D—Year-to-date
S-T-D—Season-to-date
P-T-D—Period-to-date
M-T-D—Month-to-date
W-T-D—Week-to-date
D-T-D—Date-to-date
Click in the Generation column, and select a generation level from the drop-down list.
Enter one or more aliases for the time series member.
Note:
The column of alias sets is displayed only when alias sets have been added to the model (see Creating Alias Sets).
Note:
If you enter an alias for the dynamic time series member and later remove the alias set from the model, the alias information you entered here for dynamic time series will be lost.
