Managing Dimensions

A dimension has a name and associated attributes. A dimension table contains metadata information to use for lookup or reference purposes. Each dimension table has one or more attributes. A dimension table definition is created or imported from a Oracle Hyperion Financial Management application. You can view and import the dimension metadata from external sources such as Financial Management.

System-generated dimensions:

  • Scenario dimension—Contains Scenario and Scenario Description

  • Entity dimension—Contains Entity and Entity Description

Note:

You cannot remove or modify these dimension definitions and attributes.

To add attributes to these dimensions, edit the dimension. See Adding Dimension Attributes.

You can also add attributes as part of the product integration.
