The next step in creating applications is to modify application properties and other application settings. If you are creating the application manually, you use these options, plus additional options in the Dimension Library.
If you are creating the application manually, the Dimension Library is displayed, with the Shared Library, Application, and Property Grid. You can use the right-click menu to modify the application dimensions or the application at the highest level.
Modifying Application Settings Using the Dimension Library
If you created a blank application and are modifying application settings in the Dimension Library, you can perform these actions:
Optimize application performance. See Modifying Performance Settings
Set the data type evaluation order. See Setting Data Type Evaluation Order
Set the dimension alias—See Setting the Dimension Alias.
Associate dimensions and view existing dimension associations—See Viewing Dimension Associations.
Create dimensions—See Creating Dimensions
Remove dimensions—See Removing Dimensions.
Copy dimensions—See Copying Dimensions
Detach dimensions—See Converting Local Dimensions to Shared
Modify property values—See Editing Property Values
Add members, exclude members, and set the base member—See Working with Members in Applications.
Modifying Application Settings Using the Application Wizard
If you are creating the application using the wizard, the application dimensions and members display on the left, the Property Grid displays on the right, and the validation and deployment options display at the bottom.
For wizard applications, use the right-click menu to modify the application dimensions or members. You can perform these actions:
Optimize application performance. See Modifying Performance Settings
Set the default alias table. The Default Alias Table property is set to default at the application level. If you create another alias table (another member of the Alias dimension, such as English) and want this to be the default alias table used by the application, you must set this manually. See Setting the Dimension Alias.
