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.

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