What are Default Members

When you run a Dynamic Report, the system expects values for each dimension mapped to the cube, regardless if you use the dimension in the report. For this reason, default values are automatically created for each dimension.

How to Edit Default Members

  1. Navigate to Maintenance >Reports >Cube Settings.
  1. Click the Default Members tab.
  1. Select a Reporting Area (Financial, Sales, etc.) The pre-defined default members for each dimension appear under the Default Member Name column, listing the root node value in the hierarchy (e.g., Department Main for Department dimension).
  1. Click the Change Default Member icon for the dimension default member you want to edit. The Hierarchy screen appears.
  1. Navigate through the hierarchy and highlight the member of the hierarchy you want to assign as default.
  1. Click Select. The change appears under the Default Member Name column.
Note:
When you update the default member for a secured dimension, ensure that all reporting users have access to the new member, otherwise they will not be able to design or run reports using the Reporting Area
