Specify Delimited List Settings

To finish defining a Delimited List parameter:

  1. In Default Value, specify a value or object to initially display the first time the parameter runs. Enter the member name or click Edit to look it up.

  2. In Display Items (comma-delimited), define a custom, comma-delimited list to display several options in the application from which to select, for example Budget Version 1, Budget Version 2. Separate names with commas.

  3. In Value Items (comma-delimited), enter the values or objects, such as member names, that correspond to each Display Item option in the application. Enter options in a comma-delimited list using their names in the application. Separate the values with commas.

    For example, if the Scenario dimension member for Budget Version 1 is BudV1, enter BudV1. Similarly, enter BudV2 as the member used if Budget Version 2 is selected. Separate names with commas as shown:
    ""

The syntax you use when you assign the parameter to an object depends on:

  • The object type and component, such as a cube view's page caption or row.

  • If you want to present the Value Item or Display Item to users at run time.

See Syntax.

NOTE: If a delimited list parameter is used in a cube view page caption, surround it in two exclamation points to reference the display items, not the value. For example, |!!ParameterName!!|.
