Chapter 4 Building Multidimensional Diagrams

Attribute property sheet Detail Attributes tab

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.

To define a detail attribute:

1. Open the property sheet of a dimension, and click the Attributes tab.
2. Select an attribute in the list, click the Properties tool to open its property sheet, and then click the Detail Attributes tab.
3. Click the Add Detail Attributes tool to open a Selection dialog listing the attributes available in the model, select one or more, and then click OK.
   
4. Click Apply.
