Selecting Dimensions

The next step in creating an application is to add dimensions to the application. Consolidation applications must contain the following dimension instances:

  • 1 Scenario

  • 1 Year

  • 1 View

  • 1 Period

  • 1 Entity

  • 1 Value

  • 1 Account

  • 1 ICP

  • 2 Generic (There must be one dimension with a value of 'To' for the Use For Currency property, and one dimension with a value of 'From' for the Use For Currency property.)

  • 1 Security Class (Optional)

  • 1 Alias (Optional)

    The alias dimension should contain no more than 10 members.

  • 1 Currency

  • 1 Consolidation Method

Note:

If you use the application wizard to create an application, all required dimensions are automatically shown on the Dimension Selection screen.

If you are using the application wizard, see Adding Dimensions Using the Wizard. If you created a blank application, see Manually Adding Dimensions.
