Selecting Multiple Members

In several modules such as Extended Analytics, Database Management, and Data Extract, you can select multiple dimension members or use a member list to define the selection.

Member lists display a subset of related members that belong to one dimension. Member lists can reduce the time that you spend browsing the hierarchy of members. System-defined member lists, such as Descendants and Children are enclosed in brackets ([ ]).

  To select multiple members:

  1. From the Point of View bar, click a dimension.

  2. Expand the dimension members by clicking the plus (+) sign, or select a member list and click Expand selected list into members Expand List button to display all the members in a list.

    Tip:

    If you click a folder symbol, the folder name is displayed in the text box next to the member list, so that you do not need to type the name.

  3. Highlight the members to move them to Selected Values, or click Check All Select All button to select all members.

  4. Optional: To move a selected member up or down in the list, highlight the member and click the up or down arrow.

  5. Optional: To validate the members or member list syntax, click Validate Validate button.

  6. To select a member from a member list other than the default of Hierarchy, select the member list from Selector.

    Tip:

    The Hierarchy member list contains all members of a dimension.

  7. Optional: To filter the list using a top member, type a member name for Selector and click Enter.

    The updated list displays the top member and its descendants.

  8. Optional: To display dimension descriptions in addition to labels, select Description.

  9. Optional: To view only active entities, select Filter Active Entities only.

    Note:

    This option is available only if the application is set up for Organization by Period.

    Tip:

    To clear a dimension member, click Clear.

  10. Click OK to apply your changes.
