You can create names for generations and levels in an outline, such as a word or phrase that describes the generation or level. For example, you might create a generation name called Cities for all cities in the outline. See Dimension and Member Relationships.
Use generation and level names in calculation scripts or report scripts wherever you need to specify either a list of member names or generation or level numbers. For example, you could limit a calculation in a calculation script to all members in a specific generation. See Developing Calculation Scripts for Block Storage Databases.
You can define only one name for each generation or level. When you name generations and levels, follow the same naming rules as for members. See Naming Restrictions for Dimensions, Members, and Aliases.
