public class MDLevel

extends MDObject

A client-side representation of a level in an analytic workspace. An MDLevel provides, to a java client, information about a level in a hierarchy in the workspace.

An OLAP level is a position in a hierarchy. For example, a Time dimension might have a hierarchy that represents data at the "Month," "Quarter," and "Year" levels.
