You can manually add categories to either source
or manual levels in any dimension by using the category viewer in
the right pane of the Categories diagram.
If you create
a category in a dimension that does not yet contain a level for it, Cognos®
Transformer automatically
creates a new level and opens the property sheet of the new category.
Procedure
- Open the Categories diagram for
the dimension in which you want to create a category.
- Expand the category viewer (right pane of the diagram)
as required to show the parent of the category to be added and position
the pointer over the right side of the parent category.
The
pointer changes to a crosshair.
- Drag the crosshair to the right and release the mouse button
under the level that is to contain the category.
Cognos
Transformer creates a
new category and opens its property sheet.
- In the Category code box, type a
name that uniquely identifies the category in the dimension.
- If the category is in a source level, enter the name of
the associated source column in the Source value box.
For the category in the model to be matched accurately,
the category name must be unique among all the source categories owned
by the parent.
- Set other properties for the category as required and click OK.
