Editing System-Generated Value Members

When you create an application, Value members are automatically created for the application.

Note:

You can modify only the description for Value members. All other attributes are predefined and cannot be modified.

After you load metadata, the system automatically creates three Value dimension members for each currency in your application:

  • CurrencyName

  • CurrencyName Adjs

  • CurrencyName Total

Where CurrencyName is the currency label.

For example, for a currency of USD, the system creates these Value dimension members: USD, USD Adjs, and USD Total.

Note:

The metadata file must have a description specified for the <Currency> Value member. If descriptions for currencies are not specified in the metadata file, when you load metadata, the currency descriptions are not displayed.

To modify a Value member description:

  1. Open the metadata file that contains the system-generated Value members.
  2. On the Member Attributes tab, in the hierarchy, select a member, and modify its description attribute.
  3. Repeat step 2 as needed to add descriptions for other Value members.
  4. Click Save File.

    Note:

    You must load the updated metadata file into your application for your changes to take effect.
