Dimensions

Each dimension contains 6 tabs: Hierarchies, Import, List, Parents, Settings, Properties.
There are some dimensions that have special system meaning: BusinessProcess & BusinessRule.

In different process & data class, there are different dimensions.


MultiDimensions is a new type of dimension which is a combination of different dimensions or GL_Segments.


Hierarchy is the structure/system in which members of a dimension are ranked according to relative relations.

  • Members can be moved by dragging or dropping in some hierarchies.
  • Search a member in the hierarchy by using Search… box (red box).
  • Refresh a hierarchy by clicking on the refresh button (green box).
  • Or create a new hierarchy by clicking on the hierarchy setting button (blue box).


  • Select one member to view this member's property.
    Different members have different property settings.
    Here use a leaf level and a parent level as examples.
    • MemberKey - unique in our system, each member has its own member key.
    • AccountType - usually inherited from the source database system, but can be changed here, but make sure you un-untick the box Synchronized.
    • Source - whether it's synchronized with some other data source & where the data is generated.
    • Level - whether this member is a leaf or parent level.
    • AccountCategory - to categorize this member in the dimension for later report purposes.
    • NodeType
      • Leaf member - Member holds data, can't contain other members, (shown as normal).
      • Parent - Member contains other members (Leafs or Parents), (shown as bold).
      • Category - Parent Category (shown as bold italic), only exists in Category hierarchies.
      • Parent leaf - Leaf member for a specific parent (holding data for the parent)
      • Group - Parent Group (any Parent ONLY containing leafs)
      • Calculated - Values are calculated by formula
      • Summarized - Summed aggregations
      • Max - Max value when aggregated
      • Min - Min value when aggregated
      • Average - Average value when aggregated
      • Multiplied - Multiplied value when aggregated


Can display MemberID & Level by clicking on the (green box) button.


  • UPLOAD SOURCE FILE - Select file… button
  • MAP COLUMNS TO PROPERTIES
  • CONFIGURE IMPORT - Overwrite Description
  • VALIDATE AND IMPORT - Validate & Import buttons
