Manage dimension attributes

Dimension attributes provide information about a dimension.

About this task

You can create, view, and edit the values for dimension attributes, but you cannot delete attributes in the editor. Attributes for dimensions can be created in a TurboIntegrator process that uses the available dimension attribute functions.

Important: You cannot delete attributes even if you have administrative access on a dimension or an attribute cube. To delete an attribute, you must be a member of the ADMIN group.

Procedure

  1. On the Database tree on a modeling workbench, expand a database and right-click the Dimensions node.
  2. Click Dimension Attributes.

    A modified view of the }DimensionAttributes control cube opens, with individual dimensions on the row axis and attributes on the column axis.

  3. Click a cell at the intersection of a dimension and an attribute, then enter or modify the attribute value.

    You can use cut, copy, and paste to manage attribute values. You can also use the standard view options to manage sets and to select multiple cells, rows, or columns in the editor.
