Viewing all of your dimensions

All dimensions are visible in the Dimensions view, opened from the Project Explorer.

To open the Dimensions view:

In the Project Explorer Project tab, double-click Dimensions. The Dimensions view appears in the work area.

Choose from the following options:

Option	Description
Name	A unique name for the dimension. Clicking the Name column head cycles the order of the dimension sort from rank order, to alphabetical ascending, to alphabetically descending. Note: In order to rank your dimensions, you must be displaying them in rank order in the Dimensions view.
External type	If the dimension was not manually created in Developer Studio, indicates what type of external dimension it is: Auto Gen: The dimension's values are being automatically generated because the match mode in the Property Mapper is set to Auto Generate. External: Indicates that this dimension has been created and is being maintained in a third-party tool, outside of Developer Studio. Externally managed dimensions are read-only. Prop Mapped: Indicates that this dimension is being created using the "If no mapping is found, map source properties to Endeca: Dimensions" on the Property Mapper's Advanced tab.
Enable record sort	When Yes, indicates that records can be sorted by this dimension.
Show with record list	Enables the dimension values from this dimension to appear in the record list display.
Show with record	Enables the dimension values from this dimension to appear on the record pages of any records that are tagged with these dimension values.
Dynamic ranking	Establishes dynamic dimension value ranking, which orders dimension values according to their frequency of appearance within the current record set (that is, the most popular dimension values are returned).
Multi select	Allows the end user to select more than one dimension value from a dimension within a single query.
Refinements sort order	Defines the default sort order used for dimension values within this dimension. This sort order is used when no other types of dimension value sorting have been specified.
