Client list designer

The Client List Designer is used for client lists in the same way as the Server List Designer is used for server lists, but its appearance is different. You use it to select list elements to use in a report.

You create client lists in the Database Structure. Right-click a dimension or hierarchy and select New > Client List.

To open the Client List Designer, right-click a client list in the Database Structure and select Edit. After you have inserted a client list into a report (in a list object, for example) you can open the Client List Designer from the Object Properties dialog of a list object.

See Formatting list objects.

Click Calculate automatically at the top of the pane to update the preview each time you make a change. With large dimensions, it may be better to calculate the preview manually. Disable automatic calculation and clickCalculate when you want to update the preview.

Click the Advanced button at the bottom of the pane to show the parent database alias, cube, dimension and hierarchy of the list.
