Adding Members

Members must conform to guidelines listed in Naming Restrictions.

To add shared members, see Adding Shared Members.

To add members in the Edit Member Properties grid:

1. View Edit Member Properties.

   See Accessing the Simplified Dimension Editor.

2. Add members:

   • To add a child member, select the parent level member, click Actions, and then click Add Child.

     Note:

     Child members inherit the dimension properties of the parent member.

   • To add a sibling member, select a member, click Actions, and then click Add Sibling.

   • To add years to the calendar, select the Year dimension, click Actions, and then click Add Years. Enter the number of years to add, click Apply, and then confirm whether to add the years to the end of the calendar. Click Yes to add years after the End year. Click No to add years before the Start year.

   • To add an All Years parent member that includes all members of the Year dimension, select the Year dimension, click Actions, and then click Add "All Years".

     The All Years parent member enables users to view the accumulated data across multiple years, for example, a project's total cost up to its end date. The All Years member doesn't include the No Year member, if one is defined for the application.

3. To set or change member properties, click a cell in the Edit Member Properties grid and make updates. See Editing Members.
4. To undo all changes that were made since the last save, click (Refresh).
5. To save your changes, click Save.
6. To apply your changes across the application after a save, click (Refresh Database).
7. After creating a dimension member, you typically complete these tasks:

   • Assign access. Click Actions, and then click Assign Permission.

   • Assign custom attributes. See Editing Dimension Properties.
