Defining Dimensions
You can define business indicator dimensions.
To define dimensions:
- Enter values appropriate to your environment, and click OK. Table 18-2 provides details.
Table 18-2 Bind Dimension Dialog
Element Description Name
Select a name. If there is no dimension to which to bind, click the Add icon to invoke the Create Dimension dialog to enter a name and select a data type (boolean, decimal, integer, string or time) for the dimension.
You can also create dimensions in the Business Indicator Overview Editor that are then displayed for selection in this dialog. For more information, see How to Edit Business Indicators in the Business Indicator Overview Editor.
Note: Optional ranges can be specified for some data types such as integers and decimals. This enables the dimensions to show their ranges at analytics runtime for better reporting.
XPath Expression
Click the Edit icon to invoke the Expression Builder dialog in which to build an XPath expression for binding to the dimension.
When complete, the Bind Dimension dialog looks as shown in Figure 18-18.
