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.
