Description

Available Values

Default

Description

Empty

No

Empty tree members are not shown on the value tree.

Visible

Yes

By setting this attribute to no, the tree member will be hidden. Hiding a tree member can be useful for a calculation step in a formula.

Custom Description

Empty

The custom description overrides the default generated name. You can use either a fixed text or a Dynamic Label Expression

Formula

Empty

OrderUse the order attribute to reorder the rows.1, 2, 3...Max + 1
Item LabelThe default name of the item is displayed.n/an/a
Dimension1 ...Dimension nA column for each of the dimension on which the list is created. A member or a variable can be selectedMember or a Variablen/a
DrillBy assigning a drill list to a row, a drill icon will appear in front of the line in the report. This drill list allows the end-user to drill to that list. If a dimension member of an item is a parent in the dimension hierarchy then the end user can also assign a dynamic drill to an item instead of another list.Empty, PopulatedEmpty
FormulaBy specifying a formula this
