Importing an externally-created dimension

You add an externally-created dimension to your pipeline by importing it with Developer Studio.

Once you import the XML file, the dimension appears in the Dimensions view, and Developer Studio has full read-write ownership of the dimension. You can modify any aspects of a dimension and its dimension values as if you created it in Developer Studio.

To import an externally-created dimension:

Note

Unlike the procedure to import an externally-managed taxonomy, you do not need to run a baseline update to import an externally-created dimension.

  1. Select File → Import External Dimensions.

    The Import External Dimensions dialog box displays.

  2. Specify the XML file that defines the dimensions.

  3. Chose a dimension adapter from the Dimension adapter to receive imported dimensions drop-down list.

  4. Click OK.

    The dimensions appear in the Dimensions editor for you to configure as necessary.

  5. Save the project.
