Attributes of custom hierarchies

How you access attributes of custom hierarchies depends on the type of custom hierarchy (string custom hierarchy or OLAP Metadata hierarchy) and on the attribute.

For custom hierarchies, and lists based on them, the List Designer has only one or two structure selection options (depending on the type of custom hierarchy), and no Attributes pane.

String custom hierarchies and the OLAP Metadata hierarchy have an attribute called Name.

See Name attribute.

The OLAP Metadata hierarchy has an attribute called Description.

See Description attribute of OLAP Metadata Hierarchy
