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 on your monitor without scrolling down.

After you show short names, they 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, any category that does not have a short name defined in Transformer is represented in PowerPlay Web with its long name.

Steps

1. On the PowerPlay Web toolbar, click the Display Options button .
2. Click Options.
3. Select the Show Short Names check box.
