Defining Special Types of Members

You can use the Select Members dialog box to select the following types of members:

  • Prompt—Acts like a variable that asks you to select members when you run a report. You determine the dimension and defaults at design time, and you select the members when you generate the report. Prompt also enables the report writer to filter the dimension members that are available to select when running the report.

  • Same As—Creates a column or row member selection with the same member selection setting as another column or row.

  • Current Point of View—Acts as a variable that employs the point of view to specify the member of a dimension when the report is run.

  • User Point of View—Can be selected as a member in the book point of view. The parameters can be modified by the end user.
