Chapter 5 Building Multidimensional Diagrams
You can modify an object's properties from its property sheet. To open a dimension property sheet, double-click its diagram symbol or its Browser entry in the Dimensions folder. The following sections detail the property sheet tabs that contain the properties most commonly entered for dimensions.
The General tab contains the following properties:
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Specifies the name of the item, which should be clear and meaningful, and should convey the item's purpose to non-technical users |
| Code | Specifies the technical name of the object, which is used for generating code or scripts, which may be abbreviated, and should not generally include spaces |
| Comment | Specifies a descriptive label for the dimension |
| Stereotype | Sub-classification used to extend the semantics of an object without changing its structure; it can be predefined or user-defined |
| Default Hierarchy | Specifies the dimension hierarchy used by default for a cube to perform its consolidation calculations. The hierarchy used by the cube is defined on the cube dimension association |
