Guidelines for Adding Members in Smart View

  • A new member is added as the last sibling under the specified parent.

  • Parent-child relationships are determined by the Parent Name column property.

  • The relative position of a new member in the grid is insignificant.

  • The relative position of a new member in the grid will not be changed after performing the Submit Data or Update operation. To see the actual position of a new member in the outline reflected in the ad hoc grid, perform Zoom Out, then Zoom In.

  • A full validity check of a new member name, including a check for invalid characters and a check for duplicate names, is performed during the Submit Data or Update operation.

  • Default properties are automatically applied by the application to a new member. The specific default properties are based upon those of the dimension.

  • When adding new currency members to a Currency dimension in a simplified application, the parent member for the new currency defaults to the "Currency" dimension member. It should default to the "Input Currencies" member. You can correct this by doing the following:

    1. Replace "Currency" with "Input Currencies" in the Parent Member column for each new currency member that you added.

    2. Perform a Submit Data or Update.

    3. Click Refresh.

    4. Verify that for each new currency you added, the entry for the Parent Member column is "Input Currencies."
