Member Selection

Even if you have not selected a member to display in the report, when you open the Member Selector, a member is selected by default.

For a Planning and Consolidation connection: the member that is selected in the context is selected by default in the Member Selector, with the following relationship: Member and Children. Therefore, if you choose to keep the context member selection in your report, when you change a member in the EPM Context bar, the member will also change in the report.
For a local or SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise conection: the context member or the default member is selected by default in the Member Selector. When several hierarchies exist for a dimension, a member node that belongs to one hierarchy may not belong to another hierarchy. For this reason, the context member is taken into account if the member belongs to the current hierarchy. If the context member does not belong to the current hierarchy, it is the default member of the hierarchy (this is defined in the cube or model) that is taken into account.

Members can be added to (or removed from) the Selected Members list using the right and left arrow buttons to add or remove the selection made in the Dimension Members list.

Note The arrow to the right button will copy the checked members, and any related members depending on the Selection Relationship choice, to the bottom of the selected members list. The arrow to the left button will remove the selected members from the Selected Members list.

Note The parents of members default to the bottom of their children on the Selected Members list. This is because in most reporting situations, totals and sub-totals appear at the bottom.

When selecting several items (members or filters by properties), by default, all the items will be displayed in the report: the + operator (=OR) is applied by default when you add an item in the Selected Members area. You can select the & operator (=AND), so that only the members at the intersection of the different items are displayed. The & operator takes precedence over the + operator. Colors indicate how the items are combined.

You can reorder the members in the list by selecting one or more of the members and then using the reorder buttons.

Note Alternatively, you can also drag and drop a selected member or members within the list to reorder them. Use the Ctrl or Shift keys to select multiple members like in any standard Microsoft list. You can also delete member(s) by selecting them and then pressing the Delete key.
