About Adding Members and Functions to a Component

You can add members to formula components, script components, condition components, and member and data range components. You can also add functions that return lists of members to formula, script, and condition components. You can select members and functions from the dimensions in the application to which the component belongs.

Depending on which component you are working with, you can select one or more members or functions from one dimension, or you can select one or more members or functions from multiple dimensions.

• These are the contexts in which you can select a single member for multiple dimensions:

  • In the formula grid of a formula component

  • In a function, where the required parameter is a single member

• You can select multiple members for multiple dimensions when you are defining a variable value whose type is members.

• These are the contexts in which you can select multiple members for a single dimension:

  • In the global range of a business rule

  • In a template where the design-time prompt type is a data intersection

  • In defining a variable value whose type is members

  • In defining a variable limit whose type is member

  • In a loop component

  • In any function where the parameter is members

• These are the contexts in which you can select a single member for a single dimension:

  • In defining a variable value whose type is member

  • In any function where the parameter is member
