Guidelines for Inserting Attribute Dimensions

When inserting attributes, consider the following guidelines:

• If an attribute is already present on the grid, then it will not be available for selection in the Insert Attributes dialog box.
• The grid must be in a refreshed state. If the grid is in free-form state prior to refresh, then you are prompted to refresh manually.
• When the attributes are inserted on the grid, the grid is automatically refreshed.

• In the Insert Attributes dialog box:

  • You can select to insert the entire attribute dimension, or one attribute member from a dimension.
  • If a member name is left blank in the attribute text box, then that dimension is in a deselected state and will not be inserted.
• If you have inserted a single attribute member using the Insert Attributes command and dialog box, you can use Member Selection to add other members from the same attribute dimension to the grid.
• Insert Attributes is not supported for multiple grid sheets.
• When filtering on attributes at the Generation 3 level in an attribute dimension, Smart View only displays members up to the Generation 2 level.
• An attribute dimension must be present in the grid before it can be deleted. For more information, see Pivoting Dimensions or Members between the Grid and the POV.
