    Hey dbeavon:

    I'm right there with you, I find the documentation to be weak.  Its hard to search and often lacks technical references.

    If you're still looking for a full list of the properties, the best spot I can think of is Grid View Grid Settings Selector.  Application > Dimensions > (Select your dimension) > Grid View > Grid View Settings.  This will show all the properties in the syntax that XFMemberProperty expects.

    I also agree that the 'trial and error' method for most things in OneStream can be frustrating. If it helps, I often use QuickViews for this type of prototype work; you can keep the views small and eliminate the few extra clicks associated with running reports and toggling back to edit them as the QV's refresh after you make changes in the Member Filter Builder.

    Cheers -DB
