Chapter 4 Building Multidimensional Diagrams

Defining detail attributes

A detail attribute participates in the definition of an attribute.

Detail attributes appear in the list of dimension attributes, but you can use them to further define a given attribute. For example, attributes Cust_Name and Cust_Address appear in the list of dimension attributes, however they are used as detail attributes of attribute Cust_ID.


Steps To define a detail attribute:

  1. In the dimension property sheet, click the Attributes tab to display the corresponding page.
  2. Double-click an attribute in the list to display its property sheet.
  3. Click the Detail Attributes page and click the Add Detail Attributes tool to display a list of attributes and select one or several detail attributes.
  4. Click OK in the selection list.

    The detail attributes appear in the list.
  5. Click Apply.
