Category Counts; Diagrams - IBM Cognos User Manual

v Level has allocated measures.
v Level is not derived.
v Level is derived from a data source with missing columns.
You can choose to show the scope for either a selected data source or measure.
Levels are a specific color, depending on their scope and derivation. However, you
can change the default color-coding for these states on the Dimension Map tab of
the Preferences property sheet.
Tip: You can perform the same actions from a scope map as you can from the
dimension map.

For data sources, the level is not related to the source column by name but a
lower level is, meaning that the source records can be matched unambiguously
to categories in the level. By default, this level appears with light yellow
shading.
The values for the measure are recorded in a higher level but allocated to this
level. These values can be allocated by a constant or in proportion to another
measure. By default, this level appears with green shading and with the same
color used for each allocation type.
For measures, there is direct association between measure values and this level.
For data sources, the level is not related to a source column by name, meaning
that there is no match between records in the data source and categories in the
level. By default, this level appears without any color shading (white).
The level is related to the source column by name but is not derived. The source
records cannot be matched unambiguously to categories in the level because
more than one category can have the same name in the level. By default, this
level appears with red shading.
These appear within parentheses next to each dimension name on the dimension
line.
categories, special categories, and categories in subdimensions
These appear within parentheses, below the dimension names in the dimension
line
These appear within parentheses following each level name.
