Sometimes users want to see more specific data rather than drill up and down one level at a time. They may want to see data for specific members from different parents in the dimension hierarchy. For example, a user may just want to compare data from a representative state within each region.
The Member Filter interface allows them to navigate the Market dimension and select New York from the East region, California from the West region, Illinois from the Central region, and Texas from the South region.
Member Filter is available from right-click and pop-up menus in GridBlox, DataLayoutBlox, and PageBlox when data navigation options are offered. The dimension listed in Member Filter dialog window depends on where the user right-clicks to bring up the menu.
