Application Overview

Start here to learn about managing applications, dimensions, and dimension members.

An application is a related set of dimensions and dimension members used to meet a set of business process needs. Each application has its own accounts, entities, scenarios, and other data elements.

To create an application, see Creating a Planning Application.

After an application is created, you can view and manage it using the application console. To view the application console, click Application, and then click Overview.

The application console shows the application properties (including the application type) and application statistics, such as the number of tasks, plans, approval hierarchies, and rules in your application. It also lists the cubes (for Standard applications) and dimensions (for Reporting applications) used by the application.
