Creating Dimensions

When creating a dimension, each dimension can be associated with attributes (columns) from one or more logical dimension table (plus level-based measures from logical fact tables).

NOTE:  The logical column(s) comprising the logical key of a dimension table must be associated with the lowest level of the dimension.

To create a dimension

1. In the Business Model and Mapping Layer, right-click a business model and select New Object > Dimension.
2. In the Dimension dialog box, type a name for the dimension.
3. (Optional) Type a description of the dimension.

   NOTE:  After you associate a dimension with logical columns, the tables in which these columns exist will appear in the Tables tab.

4. Click OK.
