You can define and change the maximum number of members displayed in the content assistance for the Script
Editor dialog box and in the Select Member dialog box . Enter the required number in the Maximum number of
members to fetch from backend in content assistance checkbox and/or in the Maximum number of members to
fetch from backend in dialog. The default threshold is 20. If the number of available members exceeds this
threshold number, the content assistance does not list single members. Instead it offers the Select Member...
entry, which opens the Select Member dialog box.
Searching for members
If the number of members exceeds the maximum threshold number, the Member Selection dialog box displays
the members list with each member' s text and key. The number of displayed members is cut off at the maximum
threshold number. A message below the list indicates that the maximum threshold number of members has been
exceeded and provides a link to the Preferences menu in the design tool, where you can configure this threshold
number.
To search for members, first enter a part of a member's text or key into the search field. This enables the Search
button. Then click the Search button or press
Enter
to perform the search.
Tip
The case-sensitivity of the search functionality is dependent on the backend system.
Filtering and searching for members in dimensions with related hierarchies
If the number of members and the hierarchy nodes is less than or equal to the maximum threshold number, the
Select Member dialog box displays the members in a hierarchical tree. The initial expansion level is determined by
the corresponding setting in the BW query. Depending on how you close the dialog (table view or hierarchical
view), the dialog opens in the mode again the next time it is opened. The total number of members is displayed
below the tree.
If the number of members assigned to the hierarchy is less than or equal to the threshold, but the total number of
members exceeds the threshold, then only the assigned nodes are displayed in the tree. The unassigned
members are suppressed, and a dummy node is displayed for them instead. You can only filter for assigned
members. If you want to filter for unassigned members, you need to switch to the leaves/table view.
If the number of assigned members exceeds the threshold, the Select Member dialog box initially displays the
collapsed members tree. A message below the tree indicates that the maximum threshold number has been
exceeded. You can now collapse and expand the nodes.
To expand or collapse the nodes and the entire hierarchy, press Expand All (+) or Collapse All (-).
You can now filter the members as described above. You can also change the sorting display of the member keys
and texts, adjust the threshold number and display the hierarchy leaves as a table.
