Defining Explicit Dimension Sets
This topic discusses how to define explicit dimension sets.
To view explicit dimension set properties:
Select to access PeopleSoft Application Designer.
After signing in to the PeopleSoft Application Designer, open an analytic model definition.
Double-click the Parts branch in the part browser, and then select the Explicit Dimension Set tab.

Field or Control |
Definition |
|---|---|
| Explicit Dimension Set |
Displays the name of the explicit dimension set. |
| Dimensions |
Displays the dimensions that are included in the explicit dimension set. |
To edit or add new explicit dimension sets, perform one of these actions:
To edit a preexisting explicit dimension set, double-click the name of the explicit dimension set on the Explicit Dimension Set tab.
To add a new explicit dimension set to an analytic model that does not yet contain any explicit dimension sets, right-click the area at the bottom portion of the Explicit Dimension Set tab and select the Add Dimension Set option.
In either case, the Edit Explicit Dimension Set dialog box appears.

If a row is currently selected, click this button to add a blank row beneath the currently selected row. You can then click the blank row to select a new dimension to add to the set. If a row is not currently selected, click this button to add a blank row to the bottom of the set. You can then click the blank row to add a new dimension from the resulting drop-down list box. Note: Explicit dimension subsets must exist at a lower priority than their supersets. However, it is not necessary for an explicit dimension subset to exist in the row directly beneath its superset. For example, if a superset exists in row 1, its subset can be in row 3 (it does not have to be in row 2). The explicit dimension set in row 2 can contain dimensions that are not included in other explicit dimension sets. |
| Delete |
Delete a blank row or dimension from the explicit dimension set. Note: You must select a row before clicking the Delete button. |
