Saving Member and Property Changes

When you make changes to members and properties, you can set the changes to occur immediately or wait until you use the Save button. The Grid Editor Auto Commit feature saves each change, individually. Keep in mind these guidelines when using the Auto Commit feature:

Save button—Save button.

Auto Commit—Auto Commit check box

If the Auto Commit feature is unchecked:

  • The data is saved only when you click the Save button.

  • If you modify members or properties, the cells are shaded with a new color. Colors include:

    • Yellow—A cell that is yellow indicates that the value has been updated. Upon saving the value, it is updated in Dimension Library and the cell color reverts to the default color.

    • Red—A row that is red indicates that it is marked for deletion. After a row is marked for deletion, the cells cannot be edited. Upon saving, the members are deleted from the Dimension Library, removed from the application, and the rows are deleted from the current page of the grid.

    If you navigate from one page of the grid to another, a confirmation dialog box is displayed, asking you to save any changes.

  • All changes are saved when you click the Save button.

  • If you try to change the auto commit to checked, you will be prompted to save the data.

If the Auto Commit feature is checked:

  • The data is saved on the individual action performed.

  • Property values are saved when you change the row or press the [Enter] key

  • Members are deleted immediately when you right-click and select Delete Member

Note:

You can click Refresh button. to remove the changes made to the grid and refresh the grid with last saved data.
