Custom Measures Dimensions

For Standard Profitability only, if you want to use custom measure members, create a member name "UserDefinedDriverMeasures" under the Driver Measures, and add custom members as children of that member. The Profitability Applications Console inserts those custom members as children of the "UserDefinedDriverMeasures" in the deployed Measures hierarchy.

The member UserDefinedDriverMeasures is where the application-specific, user-defined driver measures are stored. Set the ASOMember DataStorage and BSOMember DataStorage properties as follows:

  • Set to StoreData if the member does not have children.

  • Set to LabelOnly if members are added as children to this member, and all these children have the consolidation symbols of IGNORE.

    Note:

    All driver measures must be unique in the outline. Do not use the name of an existing driver measure in a dimension in the outline as the name of another member (including system, POV and business dimensions) ; otherwise, the Data Entry screen will not properly display the values.
