The Dimension Library in Performance Management Architect provides a central location for administrators to view, create, and manage dimensions and hierarchies. You can use existing dimensions that are shared with other applications, or create local dimensions that are only for your model.
To use the Dimension Library, you must have the Dimension Editor security role. This role permits access to all Dimension Library functionality, such as creating, deleting, and changing dimensions and members, creating import profiles, and running transaction logs. See the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System User and Role Security Guide.
Performance Management Architect has two types of dimensions:
Shared dimensions are linked to the Shared Library and inherit all changes that are made to the dimension.
Local dimensions are copied from the Shared Library to the application. Local dimensions do not inherit future changes made to the dimension in the Shared Library.
Caution! | All Profitability and Cost Management properties are local values. If you make changes to this value, it is not automatically inherited if the property exists in other hierarchies. If you modify a property in one hierarchy, you cannot assume that the values will be inherited to other hierarchies. |
From the Dimension Library, you can edit these properties:

Note: | Standard dimensions for Time, Currency and Country are available in Performance Management Architect for all products. |
