Show Short Names

You can switch between long and short category names in your report.

A short name is an optional property that is defined for any category in a cube. You may want to show short category names so that you can see all the rows or columns without scrolling. Short names appear in

• crosstab displays
• the dimension viewer
• drill-down views
• the Explain dialog box
• the Calculations dialog box
• exported PDF and CSV reports
• the Find dialog box
• the Hide/Show dialog box

When you show short names, long names will still appear for any category that does not have a short name defined in the cube.
