Creating lists

A list is a list of the elements of a dimension or hierarchy. You can use a variety of list objects to display lists in reports.

You can create lists in the Database Structure and then insert them in a report. Or, you can drag dimensions and hierarchies into a report as a local list. You can do this to create hyperblocks or to populate list objects.

To create a list:

Right-click a dimension or hierarchy and select New > Server List or New > Client List
For relational data sources, right-click and select New > Relational List.
Specify a name and press <Enter>.
To display the list in the Database Structure, expand the dimension and hierarchy.
To specify which list elements are displayed in reports which contain the list, right-click the list and select Edit. The List Designer, Client List Designer or Relational List Designer opens, according to the type of list.
To preview the list definition, right-click the list, and select Preview. Or click Preview.
