Adding Custom Dimensions (Hybrid mode only)

In addition to the system predefined dimensions, you can create Custom dimensions based on your application needs. Custom dimensions can only be configured at application creation and cannot be added after the application has been created. Custom dimensions are only available in hybrid mode.

The Dimensions list displays all of the dimensions for the application.

Note:

Tax Reporting does not allow modification of the dimension evaluation order.

You can configure Custom dimension properties, including name, alias, security, and attributes.

Note:

CbCR cannot be enabled if you have enabled Custom Dimensions in your application.
