Approval Group Anchor and Nonanchor Dimensions

Anchor and nonanchor dimensions:

  • Anchor dimensions are always required dimensions in the cube that is used in the approval group evaluation.

  • Nonanchor dimensions are either required or not:

    • If a nonanchor dimension is required, any cube that doesn't use that dimension will ignore any approval group where that dimension is tagged as required as it evaluates the approval groups.

    • If a nonanchor dimension isn't required, any cube that doesn't use that dimension will still evaluate any approval group that includes that dimension as not required and evaluate the groups of any other dimensions in the approval group in use in the cube.

  • Unselected anchor dimension members are valid by default, but you can mark them invalid by clearing the Unselected Members are Valid option. This option marks all groups with anchor dimension members not selected in this rule as invalid.
