Dimension Member Source
Can someone provide any documentation and use case for different Source Type in dimension properties section?

Hi all,
I want to dynamically generate an Entity dimension from existing ones. "Dimension Member Source" appears to be the correct setting, but unlike the UDs, we are limited to the "Business Rule" option. In the documentation, all I could find was:
Source Type: The approach used to specify members for this dimension. For example,
members and relationships for a Standard dimension are created manually using the
Dimension Library Editor or by using XML load. Members and relationships for a Dynamic
dimension can be sourced from external data using a custom implementation in a
WorkspaceAssembly
...
Business Rule: Connects to a businessrule so that a set of members does not have
to match a cube.
The documentation for the business rule types does not provide any notion of which it would be.
My best guess would be a Finance BR in the FinanceFunctionType.MemberList section. However, referencing a Finance rule from the source does not enter the Main method of that rule, so I appear to be on the wrong path.
Has anyone successfully implemented a business rule based dimension?
