Dimension Hierarchy Display for Descendants in Book Prompts

In Smart View, when working with books prompts for the Descendants() and Descendants(Inclusive) single member selection functions, the choice list in the Prompts dialog is now displayed in a hierarchical format by default, instead of a flat list format.

Applies to: Enterprise Profitability and Cost Management, Financial Consolidation and Close, FreeForm, Planning, Tax Reporting

Users have the option of switching to a flat list display, and back to hierarchical display, as required.

If multiple members are selected from the choice list, they are always displayed in the right panel as a flat list.

In the following example, members are displayed in a hierarchical list in the left panel. The selected members are shown in a flat list in the right panel.

Note that prompts for Children and Bottom functions continue to be shown as a flat list in both the left and right panel. For example:

Business Benefit: When responding to books prompts, the hierarchical choice list makes it easier to navigate through a large number of members at different levels.
