IBM® Cognos® Framework Manager uses the following rules to set the Usage and Regular Aggregate properties.

Object	Usage property	Regular Aggregate property
Query item in a regular dimension	Attribute	Unsupported
Query item in a measure dimension	Identifier	Count
Measure in a measure dimension	Fact	Automatic if the measure is a calculation Sum if the measure is not a calculation

If the measure is semi-additive, use the Aggregate Rules property to define rules for semi-additive aggregation. SeeDefining aggregate rules for semi-additive measures.
