Time Hierarchy

When you select Time Hierarchy, the Hierarchy Sub Type is selected as Business Intelligence Enabled and the “Total Required” checkbox is selected by default.

To define a Time Hierarchy in the Add Business Hierarchy window, do the following:

1. Click the View Attributes button in the Entity field.
   The Entity and Attribute window is displayed.

   • You can either search for a specific Entity using the Search field or select the checkbox adjacent to the required Entity in the Available Entities list. The list of defined Attributes for the selected entity is displayed Available Attributes list.
   • You can either search for a specific Attribute using the Search field or select the checkbox adjacent to the required Attribute in the Available Attributes list.
   • Click Save.
   The selected Entity and Attribute is displayed in the Add Business Hierarchy window.

   Note:

   Ensure that the values present in Attribute column do not contain new line characters. Because the hierarchy node descriptions in the hierarchy browser are considered as text fields and do not permit new line characters.

   You can also Edit the required Hierarchy Level. Select the checkbox adjacent to the required Level and click the Edit button.

   The Edit Hierarchy Levels window is displayed. You can update Short Description, Level Identifier, and Level Description details.
