About Cubes in Planning

Use the Cubes tab on the Application page to view or add cubes for standard applications.

After a cube is added, it behaves like any other application cube. If the cube maps to an aggregate storage database, then aggregate storage limitations apply.

For Planning, you can add up to seven total cubes—three block storage cubes and three corresponding aggregate storage cubes plus one consolidating aggregate storage cube, each with a unique aggregate storage application name.

See the chart below for a comparison of cubes by application type.
