Selecting Suppression Dimensions

The Data Source, Movement and Custom-defined dimensions are considered suppression dimensions. With these dimensions, you can select multiple members, using either the Member Selector or by specifying member names in text, with member names delimited by a comma. The Suppression dimensions are listed in the generated report header.

The Member Selector provides these member categories:

• Ancestors
• Children
• Descendants
• Siblings (All, Left, Right, Previous, Next)
• Parents
• Level 0 Descendants (All, Previous, Next)
• Left Siblings
• Generation (Previous, Next)

You can select one of the following Suppression options:

• Not Suppressed—This is the default selection. The dimension is included as a column in the Report Grid. There is a row of all combinations of outer-dimensions (dimensions to the left) members against each member of the Not Suppressed dimension.
• Suppressed—The dimension is not included as a column in the Report Grid. Each row data point implies a summation of all the members selected for the specified suppression dimension. All dimensions suppressed are treated as though they were at the end (right-most inner) dimensions in the grid.
• Group—This is the same as Not Suppressed, with the addition of summation rows. All outer-dimensions (dimensions to the left), together with the grouped dimension, form a group. When a group is displayed against all of its inner dimension members (all members to the right of the grouping), a summation of values will is added as the next row.

  Note:

  The Group option limits the dimension selection members to base members only. The Intercompany dimension (Partner dimension) is automatically groups, and a summation of values is derived for each Entity/Partner combination.
