You use the Created Dimensions dialog box to map data to the members of new standard dimensions. For example, if all Sample Basic data is associated with a channel or with the sum of all channels, you can create, in the Sample Basic outline, a dimension called Channel and map the data to the members of the Channel dimension.
The Deleted Dimensions dialog box is displayed when you attempt to delete a standard (non-attribute) dimension from the outline.
You use the Deleted Dimensions dialog box to retain the values of a selected member of a deleted dimension and to associate the retained values with members of non-deleted dimensions. The values of only one member per deleted dimension can be retained. For example, if you delete the Market dimension, the data that remains in the database is derived from one member of the Market dimension.
Note: | If you delete an attribute dimension, Essbase deletes the associations to the associated base dimension. |
Lists that are displayed in the Created Dimensions and Deleted Dimensions dialog boxes:
Dimensions—The dimensions that have been created within or deleted from the outline since the outline was last saved
Members—Members of the dimension that is selected in the Dimensions list (For a new dimension, you select the member to which you want to map data. For a deleted dimension, you select the member whose data values you want to retain.)
