2. Click CTRL+N to create a new line.

3. Enter a period identification and a brief description.

4. Enter the name that you want to display on the Web part and how you want the information that is displayed to be ranked.

5. Select the Visiblecheck box to display the time period information on the Web part.

6. Select the Templatecheck box to use a defined expression for this time period.

7. Under the Generaltab, enter the Multi-Dimensional Expression (MDX) for the template.
