Modifying Node Attributes for Custom Dimensions

By changing the aggregation weight attribute on the Node Attributes tab, you can modify the relationship between the selected Custom member and its parent. See Defining Custom Members.

The aggregation weight for the Custom dimension can be any value (positive or negative), and fractions are allowed (for example, 1.5 is valid). The default values are 0 (no aggregation) and 1 (to aggregate). If the value is not 0 or 1, then the child member is aggregated to the parent using that multiplier.

  To modify node attributes:

  1. Make sure that the Tree View tab is selected and, from the Metadata Item drop-down list, select a Custom dimension.

  2. In the hierarchy, highlight a Custom member.

  3. On the right side of the Metadata Manager workspace, select the Node Attributes tab.

  4. Modify the AggrWeight attribute.
