Manually Adding Dimensions

When you create blank applications, you use the Dimension Library to select dimensions. The Dimension Library has three panes:

Shared Library—Displays on the left and displays all dimensions currently available in the Shared Library.
For information on loading dimensions into the Shared Library, see Importing Metadata.
Application—Appears in the middle and when expanded, lists the names of all dimensions in the current application.
Property Grid—Displays on the right and displays the properties of the selected dimension or member.
For information on editing properties, see Editing Property Values.

To add dimensions to applications:

Drag the dimensions from the Shared Library to the application.
The Copy Dimension dialog box is displayed.
Select Local Dimension or Shared Dimension.

Tip:	To add only members to an application, in the Shared Library, right-click the dimension and select Add to App View. See Adding Members to Applications.

For information on shared and local dimensions, see Understanding Shared and Local Dimensions.

The expanded application lists all dimensions.

Tip:	If you add a member to the Shared Library and include the dimension in the application, you can click and the new member will display in the application.
