Customizing Dimensions

You can customize dimensions as follows:

When you manage dimensions to customize Hyperion Enterprise Reporting, any changes that you make apply to your user ID only. Your custom settings remain in effect until you change them. For example, if you use a custom icon for the entity dimension, the next time you start Hyperion Enterprise Reporting, that entity dimension's custom icon appears.

The recommended size for a custom icon is 16 x 16 pixels, and the recommended background is RGB (192,192,192). If you are using a custom icon, you must update the [Product-Server-Application Set-Application] section in your REPENG.INI file as follows:

[Product-Server-ApplicationSet-Application]
DimensionCustomBitmap_xxx = e:\newicon.bmp
