Member Selector

You use Member Selector to pick dimension members to use for a given purpose; for example, in a data view.

 Note:  If the dimension was in hierarchical mode, it now changes to "flat" mode.

Member Selector is divided into two panes:

  • Total Members shows all the members of the dimension, including special members and filters, organized in a hierarchy.

  • Selected Members shows the members and/or filters that you want to use.

  2. From the popup menu, select one of the following dynamic options:

    • Children only

    • Descendants only

    • Leaf descendants
