Creating Members

You can create members as siblings or children of the selected member. You can create members only in the Dimension Library. If you want to add members to applications, you must first create the members in the Shared Library and then add them to the applications.

Member names must follow product naming requirements. For Planning dimensions, see Naming Restrictions for Dimensions, Members, and Aliases.

For Financial Management dimensions, see Working with Financial Management Dimensions. For additional information on creating Profitability and Cost Management members, see the Oracle Hyperion Profitability and Cost Management Administrator's Guide.

Note:

You may be able to enter different characters when creating members in the Dimension Library, but when the member is brought into an application, the application's naming rules are applied.

Performance Management Architect supports large member domains. For information on collapsing the parent of a large member domain, see Collapsing the Parent.

  To create members:

  1. Right-click a member, select Create Member, and then select As Child or As Sibling.

    Note:

    If you right-click on a top member for a dimension, you do not have the option to create a sibling.

  2. Enter the member name and click OK.
