A subject area contains folders, measure columns, attribute columns, hierarchical columns, and hierarchy levels that represent information about the areas of an organization's business or about groups of users with an organization. Subject areas usually have names that correspond to the types of information that they contain.
A subject area corresponds to the presentation layer in an OBI metadata repository. In a repository, the subject area is the highest-level object in the presentation layer and represents the view of the data that end users see when they create or edit an analysis.
Use subject areas to organize the data you see in an analysis. To choose a subject area, select New, Analysis, and then Select Subject Area from the list.
