Figure 6-32 shows what happens when a user
searches the Customer Geography hierarchy for the word Monica: there are customers
with the first name Monica, but there is also a city, Santa Monica, that shows up in
the results. As long as a match is found at any level, it is returned in the results.
To search for a term at only one level, there is an advanced search feature that can
be accessed by clicking on the word Advanced just below the search textbox. The
Advanced Find dialog allows users to search for members at just a single level or
to search on member properties, which may include many different attributes. For
example, individual customers have member properties such as gender, occupation,
a home owner flag, and more.
Figure 6-31 A Slicer can be added to any view by selecting multiple members of
a background dimension.

Working with Charts
Any valid query run in ProClarity creates what is called a view. A view is a chart,
grid, decomposition tree, or any other way of looking at data in ProClarity. Seeing
the same data in a chart and a grid represents two completely different views. For
example, the Big Blue Bar is a view. Clicking on a bar to drill down one level creates
a completely different view. The important point here is that any view can be saved in
what ProClarity calls a Briefing Book, which is a collection of one or more views.
