Dimensions and Facts

A subject area contains dimensions and facts.

• Dimension: Dimensions are the knowledge parameters such as articles, dates, and categories that can be measured using facts. Dimensions contain reference information and serve as columns in the report tables.

  Note: You need to select at least one dimension to generate a report.

• Facts: Facts quantify dimensions. In the reports, a fact displays values for the selected dimensions. For example, the measure for Articles dimension is 'Number of Articles'. A fact can be associated with multiple dimensions.
