Dimensions: how to link an entity to a new UD5

[Marco]

Hi everyone.

I would like to see in which section I should put the name of the UD5 in an entity, since I see that it has a section for that but in the text part I see that other configurations also, so I would like to know where to put it so that they are connected, as well as about the UD5, about where the entity should go so that it is also connected.

I do this because I want to try to make a connection equal to that of the IC with the entity

Entity

UD5

HI @Marco ,

The connection should be in the Entity Defaults fields:

IN this example, Vendor1A will be the Default Entity member for UD5. You will then use:

That can be used either in Calculations or Reports.

Hope that helps,

So in the UD5 it is not assigned to one created, for example to the following one I just added

[aformenti]

No, in the UD5 you will need to use U5#EntityDefault, which will be a pointer of the Member you have assigned into the Entity Default field of the Entity.

I see that in EntityDefault you can't modify something, how does this part work?

[aformenti]

You can't modify anything on this member because it is a pointer. Meaning, it points to the member you define on the Entity setting, therefore all the settings are set within the source member.
