Dimension Wizard - Finish

In this final step of the wizard, you can name your dimension and preview the dimension data. If you started the Dimension wizard from the Cube wizard, you can also choose whether you want this to be a shared dimension or a private dimension.

To name your dimension

• In the Dimension name box, type a unique name for your new dimension. You can enter a maximum of 24 characters for the dimension name, which must begin with an alphabetic character.

To preview your dimension data

• Use the Preview box to preview the hierarchy of your dimension.

Options

Share this dimension with other cubes

This option is available only if you started the Dimension wizard from the Cube wizard. Select it if you want your dimension to be available to other cubes. If you choose to save this dimension as a shared dimension, the dimension will appear in the Shared Dimensions folder under the Library folder in the tree view of the OLAP Manager.

If you started the Dimension wizard from the shortcut menu of a Shared Dimensions folder, your dimension will be shared automatically.
