Objectives

After this lesson this lesson, you should be able to:

• Describe the differences between system-generated and user-defined member lists

Member Lists Overview

A member list is a subset of related members that belong to a single dimension.

Creating Member Lists

• You create member lists in a text file that you load into your application.

• You include definitions for all user-defined member lists in a single file.

Sub EnumMemberLists()Dim aEntityLists(2)Dim aAccountLists(1)If HS.Dimension = "Entity" Then

aEntityLists(1) = "UnitedStates"aEntityLists(2) = "Europe"HS.SetMemberLists aEntityLists

ElseIf HS.Dimension = "Account" ThenaAccountLists(1) = "ProfitAndLoss"HS.SetMemberLists aAccountLists

End IfEnd Sub


Sub EnumMemberLists()Dim aEntityLists(2)Dim aAccountLists(1)If HS.Dimension = "Entity" Then

aEntityLists(1) = "UnitedStates"aEntityLists(2) = "Europe"HS.SetMemberLists aEntityLists

ElseIf HS.Dimension = "Account" ThenaAccountLists(1) = "ProfitAndLoss"HS.SetMemberLists aAccountLists

End IfEnd Sub

Identifying Member Lists in a File

You use the EnumMemberLists subroutine to specify the number of member lists and the names of the member lists.


Creating Static Member Lists

You use the EnumMembersInList to create both static and dynamic member lists.

Sub EnumMembersInList()If HS.Dimension = "Account" Then

If Hs.MemberListID=1 Then HS.AddMemberToList "Sales" HS.AddMemberToList "SalesInterco" HS.AddMemberToList "Purchases" HS.AddMemberToList "PurchasesInterco"End If

End IfEnd Sub


Creating Dynamic Member Lists for the Entity Dimension

Dynamic member lists select members from a dimension based on a criteria you specify.

Creates an array of the dimension members

Loops through the dimension members

Checks the currency property of each member

If HS.Dimension = "Entity" ThenIf HS.MemberListID=1 Then ELi=HS.Entity.List("","") For i=Lbound(ELi) to Ubound(ELi)

If (StrComp(HS.Entity.DefCurrency(ELi(i)),“USD”,vbTextCompare)=0) ThenHS.AddEntityToList "",ELi(i)End If

NextEnd If

End If


Creating Dynamic Member Lists for Other Dimensions

Ali=HS.Account.List("","")For i=Lbound(ALi) to Ubound(ALi) If (StrComp(HS.Account.AccountType(ALi(i)),"asset",vbTextCompare)=0) Then HS.AddMembertoList ALi(i) End If Next

Checks the account type property of each member

Creates an array of the dimension members Loops through the dimension members


Loading Member Lists

You access the Load Member Lists task from the Load Tasks menu in the view pane.


Extracting Member Lists

You access the Extract Member Lists task from the Extract Tasks menu in the view pane.
