Dimension Members Pane (Dimension Browser)
Use this pane to display the dimension members in a tree format. Expand individual members to browse their descendants.
If the dimension is write-enabled, and included in a processed cube, you can update the member hierarchy and the member names in the dimension members pane. You can add, delete, and move members.
Important Changes to a write-enabled dimension are recorded in the dimension table after you click Close and then click Yes to confirm the changes. Thereafter, these changes cannot be undone except by browsing the dimension again and manually reversing the changes.
To move a member, drag it to its new parent. To add, delete, move, or rename a member, right-click it, and then click one of the following shortcut menu options.
| Shortcut menu option | Click to |
|---|---|
| Delete | Display the Delete Member dialog box, where you can confirm the deletion of the selected member and select the disposition of its descendants. |
| Move Down | Move the selected member (and its descendants) downward on its current level. The selected member becomes a child of its parent's following sibling. |
| Move Up | Move the selected member (and its descendants) upward on its current level. The selected member becomes a child of its parent's preceding sibling. |
| Indent | Move the selected member (and its descendants) down one level. The selected member's preceding sibling becomes its new parent. If the selected member does not have a preceding sibling, its following sibling becomes its new parent. |
| Outdent | Move the selected member (and its descendants) up one level. The selected member's grandparent becomes its new parent. |
| Rename | Rename the selected member. |
| New Member - Sibling | Display the Create Member dialog box, where you can add a sibling of the selected member. |
| New Member - Child | Display the Create Member dialog box, where you can add a child of the selected member. |
