Creating Associations

Before you create user-defined attributes, you must associate the dimension in which you want to create UDAs in to a UDA dimension. Creating an association with the UDA dimension enables you to reuse the UDAs in multiple dimensions.

Note:

If you have previously associated this dimension to a UDA dimension, it is not necessary to follow these steps prior to creating UDAs.

  To create a dimension association:

  1. Expand the dimension and select the member for which you want to create a user-defined attribute.

  2. In the Property Grid, double-click UDA, then click Ellipsis button..

    Note:

    If you do not have the dimension associated with a UDA dimension, the Create Association - Warning dialog box is displayed. To add user-defined attributes for this member, you must first create a dimension association.

  3. Click Yes to create an association.

    The Create New Association dialog box is displayed.

  4. Select the UDA property, optionally add a description, then select a UDA dimension.
