This element cannot be modified or manipulated.

The DefaultDetails element applies to the following objects:

  • Columns

  • Measures

  • Role ends

Applicable Attributes

The following table lists the attributes found on the DefaultDetails element.

Value

Remarks

An entity—such as a column or measure—that is marked with the DefaultDetails element can be presented as a field in the designer, to represent the information available in the table. You can mark multiple entities with the DefaultDetails element, but only one column can be used as the representative column.

This property corresponds to the Table Detail property in SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT).

Example

The following example indicates that the column, EnglishDayNameOfWeek, should be included among the columns presented in the design surface for the table, Date.

<EntityType Name="Date">
    ....
      <bi:EntityType>
        <bi:DefaultDetails>
            <bi:MemberRef Name="EnglishDayNameOfWeek" />
         </bi:DefaultDetails>
      </bi:EntityType>
    ....
</EntityType>
