Guidelines for Using the Smart View Grid
The following guidelines will assist you in using the Smart View grid to edit dimension metadata:
-
Use the Planning Admin Extension to add dimension members, and to edit and update dimension and member properties.
-
The Planning Admin Extension cannot be used to:
- Delete or remove dimensions (that is, the dimension root member) or members.
- Edit dimension or member names.
-
Data cell values can be textual or enumeration or numerical.
-
The Parent Member is used to specify or modify the parent/child relationship.
-
The position of a member in a grid doesn't necessarily represent the actual position of siblings in the outline.
-
Each metadata grid must be linked to a corresponding dimension.
-
Columns for each dimension are based on the corresponding set of member properties available in the dimension editor.
When you first import a dimension, a predefined set of metadata dimension member properties is displayed. See Default Metadata Dimension Member Properties for a list of those member properties.
-
After a metadata grid is opened, it can't be relinked to a different dimension.
-
The corresponding valid set of metadata members is specific to each dimension.
-
Dimension members are valid for corresponding dimensions only.
-
For the Time Period dimension, Data Storage is the only editable property.
