Using Named Hierarchy Levels with TM1 Dimensions

You can assign your own custom names to the hierarchy levels of the TM1® dimension by using the }HierarchyProperties control cube. The named levels you create can then be used when you externally access TM1 data with IBM® Cognos® Report Studio, MDX statements or other MDX OLAP tools. You can also assign a default member for the dimension.

For example, instead of using the generic hierarchy level names of level000, level001, level002, you could assign names that describe the levels in a Customers dimension as shown in the following table.
