The Dimension Name
|
|
A Description
|
|
The Number of Levels in the dimension hierarchy. This should correspond to the hierarchical levels in the table to which you are mapping this dimension hierarchy.
|
|
If you are using this dimension hierarchy as the basis for a cube, ensure that Elements are Mutually Exclusive is checked (by default, this option is checked). Otherwise, you will receive an error when you use this dimension hierarchy to create a cube because the elements cannot overlap in a cube. If you are creating a dimension hierarchy purely for use in selecting from a strategic segment, then it is permissible to disable this option and create overlapping definitions. It is recommended, however, that you creative non-overlapping bins so that dimension hierarchies you create can be freely used both for building cubes as well as with strategic segments.

(Optional but recommended) You can store a dimension hierarchy for future use in a table catalog by clicking Save. If you store a dimension hierarchy you can retrieve it later for another use or share it with other users rather than recreating it.
