Create a Set of Members

Use sets to group members that are logically related for various actions, such as formatting, nesting, and sorting.

Creating sets is also useful when members may be dynamic over time. For example, the child accounts of a total assets account may change from year to year. By creating a set, you do not have to modify the report each time accounts are added or removed.

By default, IBM® Cognos® Workspace Advanced creates sets when you add members in a report.

After you create a set of members, you can add or remove members within the set.

Procedure

  1. From the Source tab source tab, click the create sets for members button create sets for members icon to toggle between adding individual members and creating sets for members.
  2. Select the items to include in the set and drag them to the work area.
  3. To add or remove members from the set, right-click the set and click Edit Members.
