Creating a Standard Application

A Standard application is an advanced application with two cubes and the option to add more cubes. Complex business logic, such as business rules and allocations, is supported. You can't convert a Standard application into a Reporting application.

A Standard application:

  • Allows you to add additional dimensions

  • Enables sandboxes for the block storage cubes that are created when you create the application. (You can also enable sandboxes for custom cubes when you create the cube.)

  • Supports custom calendars (up to weeks of the month)

  • Supports business rules

  • Allows member formulas

  • Can't be converted into a Reporting application

  • Can be converted into an Enterprise application

    Note:

    To convert a Standard application into an Enterprise application, see Converting a Standard or Reporting Application to an Enterprise Application.
