User defined dimension object

I have a universe with few objects: TimeSlice, ShipID, SSN (dimensions), and
Personnel Count (measures). My users have a need to perform what-if drills on
this universe. In particular, they would like to dynamically group ships into a
battle group and analyze their readiness by looking at the personnel counts
across battle groups. I know how to create a user defined object (let’s call it
BattleGroup), but don’t know how to assign a value (A, B, etc) to the
BattleGroup which consists of a list of ShipID’s selected by the user. Can
somebody help? TIA.

Check into Groups or Derived Variables. This let’s you group things
together on the report. It works well, but you have to define groups even
for the items you don’t want bundled together. This will be substantially
easier in BO 5.0.
