Example - Adding a Manual Level to Provide Logical Subgroups

You can add a manual level to subdivide the information for easier analysis by report users.

Suppose your staffing model contains a dimension with 14 categories at the country or region level. You want to subdivide the Region dimension so your users can analyze the data more easily.

Procedure

You add a manual level that groups each set of countries or regions by geographical region. You add the categories Americas, Europe, and AsiaPacific to this level. You link USA and its child categories to the Americas region. You then link the remaining country or region categories to their appropriate regional categories.
