Specifying whitelists and blacklists
Through the Edit List window, you can manually create whitelists and blacklists or populate them with values retrieved from reference value log files.
Note: After you specified the values in your whitelist and saved the
changes to the server, you cannot change the source value for existing
items.
Note: After you specified your whitelist and blacklist for a dimension,
you should export the list to a file. In case you need to make changes
at some future time, you can use the exported file as one of your
data sources for population of the list in the new dimension.
Note: After you created a whitelist of values, newly added values
are not automatically included in Top Mover calculations. Any imported
or manually added values must be specifically selected for inclusion
in Top Mover calculations.
If you selected Order whitelist as shown
in the
Dimension properties, you may use the up and down arrows next to the
Value column to reorder the display of whitelist values.
- To move an item to the top or bottom of the list, press
SHIFT
and then click the appropriate arrow. - See Creating or editing a dimension.
