Managing Dimensions

Start here to learn how to manage dimensions and dimension members.

Dimensions categorize data values.

Dimensions on the Dimensions page are listed in order of precedence. The order of dimensions is critical for the structure and performance of an application. The order of your dimensions determines how your data calculations will perform. Evaluation Order enables you to specify which data type prevails when a data intersection has conflicting data types.

Note:

• Account members that require Text, Date, or Smart List data types, require the Account dimension to have an Evaluation Order set for the cube or cubes in question. See Setting the Evaluation Order in the Simplified Interface.

• For a Smart List to be viewable in forms, the dimension to which the Smart List type member belongs must be first in the evaluation order. See Working with Smart Lists.

To manage dimensions:

1. Click Application, click Overview, and then click Dimensions.
2. Perform a task:

   • To filter the dimensions by cube, see Filtering the Dimension View by Cube.
