Display the element index in the dimension editor

You can now display the element Index value in the dimension editor. Index is a property that determines the order of elements (members) within a dimension. The index value is unique for each element.

The Settings in the dimension editor now include the Element index option, which you can use to show or hide the index values for dimension elements (members). When you enable the Element index option, the dimension editor includes an Index column.

Element index

The Element index option is also available in the modeling workbench Profile and settings, under Settings > Dimension editor. Use this setting to enable this option by default for the entire workbench environment.

Profile and settings

You can also sort the dimension elements by index with these new Sort members options:

By index, ascending
Sort members by index, in ascending order.
By index, descending
Sort members by index, in descending order.
By index, hierarchically ascending
Sort members within a hierarchy by index, in ascending order.
By index, hierarchically descending
Sort members within a hierarchy by index, in descending order.
