lists

The dimensions and elements of a multidimensional database are held in lists. A list represents a list of element names in a database. You can filter or sort them as required. You can use lists in a report, for example, in hyperblocks or combo boxes and other list views. When a repository is created, a list is automatically generated for each dimension. A list is a subset of the dimension, defined by various rules and criteria. There are different types of list and the type is determined by the data connection being used (for example, relational lists are used with relational databases).
