  • Key Concepts: 
    A named set is a type of object in SAP BusinessObjects Information Design Tool (IDT) that allows users to define a set of members from a dimension. This set can then be used in multiple places, such as in reports or calculations. Named sets are useful for creating dynamic sets of data that can be used across multiple reports and calculations. 
    
    How to use it: 
    To create a named set, open the IDT and select the dimension from which you want to create the set. Then, select the members you want to include in the set and click “Create Named Set”. You can then give the set a name and save it. The named set can then be used in reports or calculations by selecting it from the list of available objects. 
    
    Tips & Tricks: 
    Named sets can be used to quickly create dynamic sets of data that can be used across multiple reports and calculations. It is also possible to edit existing named sets by selecting them from the list of available objects and making changes to the members included in the set.
