Dimension trees

The Dimension Trees page is for defining the hierarchical structure or architecture of dimension criteria/categories. This hierarchical arrangement is essential for the dimensions that have been created on the Dimensions page. By using the Dimension Trees page, you can establish the relationship and organization of dimension criteria in a logical and structured manner, enabling better analysis, reporting, and navigation within the application.

To access the Dimension Trees page, click Configuration > Analytical Dimensions > Dimension Trees.

The tree view on the left-side panel lists all available dimensions ( for example, Cost Centres, Area of Distribution, etc.) in the application. Attached to these dimensions are the categories linked to them.

The right-side panel is where you can define the criterion you want to link.

Choose a dimension from the drop-down list of the left-side panel. This is the dimension to which the new category will be linked.
Click . The Parent Dimension field is auto-filled.
Specify the following parameters:
- Code- code of the category. Max 25 alphanumeric characters.
- Name - the description of the criterion.
- Parent Dimension- this field is auto-filled with the code of the dimension created on the Dimensions page. To enter a different dimension category, click to select a parent dimension. Adding a parent dimension creates the hierarchy of category for the selected dimension.
