The selected options in a Report Set are dynamically applied at Dynamic Report run time instead of adding members to Report Set lines one time at the setup. This ensures that any new members added to the hierarchy are pulled dynamically without making any changes to Report Set definitions. This applies to Main, Alternate, Attribute, and Attribute Hierarchies, Substitution (Standard and Derived) Variables when used within the Single-dimension rule in a Report Set.

Single Tab

• Suppress Indents

  Select this check box to remove indents from the output for the selected member(s), children, all children, the selected member(s) plus the children, the selected member(s) plus all children, leaves, the selected member(s) plus leaves, or the selected member(s) plus the parents.

• Options

  The drop-down list is enabled only when a single rollup member is selected in the rule. The following options are available in the drop-down list:

  • Selected - Members in the tree, as selected by the user. This is the default value.

  • Children - Immediate children of members, as selected by the user

  • Selected + Children - Selected members, and their immediate children

  • Selected + All Children - Selected members, and all levels of children under them

  • Leaves - Leaf members at all levels under the selected members

  • Selected + Leaves - Selected members, and their leaf members, at all levels.

  • Selected + Parents - Selected members, and their immediate parents.

  • The following options are available only for the Time dimension:

    • Total - Trailing

      Note:

      The Options drop-down list is enabled only when you select a single dimension in the rule and a single roll-up member within the single-dimension rule.

Limitations
