What are subject areas, dimensions, attributes, facts, and metrics?

Information for your analytics is grouped into related functional areas called subject areas that contain fact and dimension folders with metrics and columns you can add to your analyses.

Dimension folders include the grouping of dimensional attributes for the subject area. Columns (such as date of birth or name) that are grouped for a dimension are known as attributes. Fact folders contain formulas for getting calculated numeric values, such as counts, sums, and percentages.
