Finding a Member


The Find feature in Member Filter enables users to search for dimension members using part or all of the member name, and then easily add them to the Selected Members list of the Member Filter. This is useful when you have a large number of members.

To find a member:

  1. Open Member Filter.
  2. Within the Member Filter dialog, click Find.
    A dialog box appears for you to specify the member to look for.
  3. Enter the member name you want to find, or enter part of the member name along with the * wildcard.
    You can only use the * wildcard at the beginning or at the end of a search term. For example:

    NoteThe search is case-insensitive.

  4. Click Find.
    The members matching your search criteria are displayed in the Results area. By default, returned results are automatically selected.
  5. Select the members in the Search Results area that you want to add. Selected members are outlined in blue.
  6. Click Add to add the selected members to the Member Filter, or click Close to exit without adding any members.

The Search Results area is cleared every time you perform a new search.

NoteWhen you use the Find feature, you are searching through the sub-branch of whichever members are currently selected. To change the search branch, close the Find dialog box, select different members, and re-launch the Find dialog box.
