Which parameter type will display a flat list of members?

• A. Input Value
• B. Member List
• C. Bound List
• D. Member Dialog

Answer: (B)

Providing a flat list of members means showing all members from a dimension in a simple, non-indented sequence, without reflecting the underlying hierarchy. The parameter type that delivers this straightforward, non-hierarchical listing is the one designed to present a direct, flat collection of dimension members for quick selection. It intentionally avoids nesting or parent-child structure, so you can scan and pick from all members at once. In contrast, a bound list typically aligns with a specific part of the hierarchy, often displaying a tree structure that reflects parent and child relationships. A member dialog may open a window with selection options that could still be hierarchical or gated by search, but the standard flat listing behavior is provided by the member list option. Input value is for direct entry, not a list of members. So the best choice for a flat list of members is the member list.
