Selecting Labels
Dimension members may have two or more sets of labels associated with them. For example, a member may have a key such as 07 and a common name such as Paris. Selecting a particular label set may help in the member selection process and also affects which label set is shown when you display the report.
To open the Select labels dialog, do one of the following:
- Click Select labels
