Setting the Evaluation Order in the Simplified Interface

The evaluation order enables you to specify which data type prevails when a data intersection in a form has conflicting data types.

For example, if Account members are set to the Text data type, and Product members are set to the Smart List data type, you can set whether the Account members with the Text data type or the Product members with the Smart List data type prevail at an intersection.

Note:

Account members that require Text, Date, or Smart List data types, require the Account dimension to have an Evaluation Order set for the cube or cubes in question.

To set the evaluation order in the Simplified Interface:

1. Click Application, click Overview, and then click Dimensions.
2. Click the down arrow to the right of Cube to filter the list of dimensions by cube.
3. Click the Evaluation Order field next to the dimension that you want to update.

   Note:

   You need to select only dimensions whose members have specific data types (that is, their data type isn't "Unspecified"). The data type "Unspecified" doesn't conflict with another data type.
