Find items in the source tree
The data source or package that you select might contain large amounts of data. You can use several techniques to find the items in the source tree that you need.
- Expand a dimension to see successive levels and details
- Specify a greater or lesser number of items to show in the source tree
- Search for items
By default, the source tree shows 50 items for any one dimension at a time. You can change this value to increase or decrease the number of items displayed. Depending on the size of the data source, you might want to set a smaller value to improve performance. For more information, see Member display count limit.
If you are using a IBM® Planning Analytics data source and the number of members in the dimension is greater than the member display limit, a More icon is displayed. If you click More, more members are displayed. For example, if the member limit is 25 and you click More, another 25 members are displayed.
If you are using a IBM Cognos® Analytics package and there are more than the specified number of items in the dimension, a Search icon is displayed. If you click Search, you can enter your search criteria to find the items that interest you.
