Associating properties with a dimension value

You can provide name/value pairs with descriptive information about a given dimension value.

For example, putting a property that contains a database lookup key on a dimension value will allow your Web application to access an existing database system that stores data related to that dimension value.

Note: Do not confuse these name/value pairs with source properties or Endeca properties. They are purely for descriptive information about a given dimension value.

To associate one or more properties with a dimension value:

  1. In the Dimension Value editor, click Properties. The Properties editor appears.
  2. In the Property box, type the new property name.
  3. In the Value box, type the property's value.
  4. Click Add.
  5. (Optional) Repeat steps 2 to 4 to add other name/value pairs.
  6. Click OK.
