Displaying named sets

Named Sets are customized lists which can be used in place of, or with, the levels in a dimension.

For example, a Region dimension might contain the regions Asia, Europe, Middle East, Americas, North America, South America, Australia/Pacific and Africa, but not the EMEA region (Europe, Middle East and Africa). You could use a named set for the EMEA region.

Note: Named sets are created in the OLAP Server database where they are referred to as Subsets.

To display named sets in the database structure, click Database Structure Options and select Show Named Sets. Named sets are displayed in a folder under each dimension.

SeeDatabase structure.

When a native non-ODBO database alias is used, named sets are shown as ordinary hierarchies in OLAP Version 5.2 and higher.
