Subject Area Folders

Each subject area may have fact folders and dimension folders. Folders may have subfolders.

• Fact folders contain attributes that can be measured, meaning that they're numeric values.

• Dimension folders may hold attribute columns or hierarchy columns.

  • An attribute represents a piece of information about an object. Values may be dates, IDs, or text.

  • A hierarchy contains values with parent-child relationships. Only Perspective folders provide hierarchy columns.
