Manually Adding Dimensions

When you create applications manually, you use the Dimension Library to select dimensions. The Dimension Library has three panes:

  • Shared Library—Displays on the left and displays all dimensions currently available in the Shared Library.

    For information on loading dimensions into the Dimension Library, see Importing Metadata.

  • Application—Appears in the middle, and, when expanded, lists the names of all dimensions in the current application.

  • Property Grid—Displays on the right with the properties of the selected dimension or member.

    For information on editing properties, see Editing Property Values.

For information on filtering dimensions for applications, see Adding Members to Applications.

  To add dimensions to applications:

  1. Drag the dimensions from the Shared Library to the application.

    The Copy Dimension dialog box is displayed.

  2. Select Local Dimension or Shared Dimension.

Tip:

To add only members to an application, see Adding Members to Applications.

The expanded application lists all dimensions. For information on shared and local dimensions, see Understanding Shared and Local Dimensions.

You can modify application properties. Depending on the application type, requirements and properties vary. See Modifying the Application Settings.
