My goal with this presentation is to give the users that are just starting out, or that may have attended the beginner sessions last year, something else to build upon.

I will plan to show the following uses of UDAs:
- how they can be used within an outline and security filters to open/close forecast
- how they can be used within security filters to restrict access to specific members in a hierarchy
- how they can be used within an export calc script to focus the calc on specific members
- how they can be used within a more complicated calc script to focus the calc on specific members, so that you do not need to calculate the entire dimension
- show how easy it is to load UDA's into an outline using a simple load rule and text file

Attribute Dimmensions
- explain in general how attribute dimensions work and show a comparison, of using an attribute dimension to achieve the same results as a UDA ( I haven't done this part yet - so I'll need to do some exploring to see what can be done with the attribute dimension, vs what I've already done with the UDAs)
- show how to load Attributes into an outline using a load rule (I'm assuming this is doable - will figure it out)

Substitution Variables
- show how they can be used for storing values used in calc scripts
- show how they can be used to store version control for excel files
- show how they can be used in load rules
- etc.

MAXL
- show examples of how you can set substitution variables within MAXL and then call Calc scripts, load rules, etc.
