After you associate an attribute dimension with a standard dimension and thus create a base dimension, to enable attribute analysis, you must associate members of the attribute dimension with members of the base dimension.
For example, in the Sample Basic database, product 100-30 is sold in bottles. To set bottle as an attribute for product 100-30, associate the Bottle member of the Pkg Type attribute dimension to the 100-30 member of the base dimension, Product.
Attribute associations must follow certain rules.
To associate members of a base dimension with members of attribute dimension:
Open the outline in edit mode.
The Outline tab is displayed.
Select one of more base dimension members, right-click, and select Edit member properties.
In the Member Properties dialog box, select the Associations tab.
In the Available attributes list box, select the appropriate member of the attribute dimension.
Click Assign to associate the selected attribute dimension member with the base dimension members.
If you want to remove an associated attribute, select it in the Associated attributes list box and click Remove.
If you want to remove all attributes associated with the selected base dimension members, click Remove All.
Click OK.
