the Member of Dimension data type is selected, the text box on the right side of the
dialog box will change from Value to Dimension Alias:, and a dimension list will
appear to select the referenced dimension. The Entity dimension is selected as the
referenced dimension, as shown in the right half of Figure 7-17 for the example
in this chapter. The default value for the referenced dimension can be selected
by clicking on the Ellipsis (??¦) button that is available to the right of the text box
titled Member: in the Create Member Property dialog box. Clicking the Ellipsis
(??¦) button will open the Member Selector, which then displays the available
members in the referenced dimension, from which the default member of the
referenced dimension can be selected. After you??™ve defined the various aspects of
the new dimension member property, clicking OK will close the Create Member
Property dialog box. It will also display the Dimension Workspace for the Employee
dimension where the newly created Entity member property can be seen as the rightmost
column. Click the Check In link in the Dimension Tasks pane on the right side
to save and check in the Employee dimension.
The user-defined dimension member property will be available to all members
of the dimension.
