View Dimension

The View dimension controls the representation of data across the time periods.

Data should be loaded into the system at the base level view. Data is only stored in the ‘Periodic’ member and other members are always dynamically calculated. The system retrieves the stored data and transforms it to the requested View when queried.

By default, when you create an application, the View dimension has these members:

• Periodic--Each period shows the data entered or calculated in Year-to-Date manner.
• YTD--Reserved for future use.
• QTD--Reserved for future use.
• YTD_Input--Reserved for future use.

You cannot remove any system created above View dimension members. You can edit member properties, such as Alias.
