IA04.1 - Member Definition



Use Member Definition (IA04.1) to define member information including
the dimension to which it belongs, the parent member name, the default alias
name, and how the member will be calculated. You can also access the Member
Maintenance subform from this subform.




**Process at a Glance


1. (YOU ARE HERE) Add a member definition
2. Specify a fixed member name
3. Assign UDA values to members
4. Map locales and alias tables


Member Name Type or select the member name that you want to add or modify.

Dimension Name Type or select the dimension name that you want to associate
with the member.

Parent Name Type the member parent name.

Default Alias Name Type a default alias name.

Dynamic Calculation: Type or select the value that determines how the
member is calculated.




- Blank (Calculated) - The member data is calculated during
the data mart load.


- S (Calculated and Stored) - The member data is not calculated
during the data mart load. Rather, the member is calculated the first time
a user queries the data mart using end-user analytical tools, such as
e-ScoreCard.
Once the member is queried, it is stored. The next time the member is queried,
the stored calculation is accessed.


- F (Calculated on the Fly) - The member data is not calculated
during the data mart load. The member is calculated each time the member is
queried by the end-user.
