Framework:Dimensions
Dimensions have a level structure. They are used to distribute aggregating data and break them down to any level.
Dimension designer
Like with tables, the so-called dimension designer is available to process the dimension.
The setting options and the functions of the individual tabs correspond to those of a table.
The “Options” tab offers the following additional setting options:
Available for distribution
With this option, you define whether this dimension is available to the data wizard for the distribution of the data from a sum element to its subordinated elements.
Default distribution
This option is used exclusively for dimensions. It controls a possible automatic distribution of the datasets when input to nodes. The following settings can be made:
- K or empty (default setting): no distribution – values input to empty nodes remain there.
- Lx (x=1-n or 0 for all levels): Level – continuous aliquot distribution to the next n levels (respectively to the lowest level at L0).
- Ex (x=1-n or 0 for all levels): Element – aliquot distribution to level n (respectively to the lowest level at L0)
- Sx (x=1-n or 0 for all levels): Structure – currently like Lx
Dimension name multilingual
This option permits the saving of dimension element names in various languages. Simply log in with another than the default language (ex works: German) and give the dimension element a name in this language. The input is saved as a translation in CoPlanner’s multi-lingualism tables, the name of the original element remains untouched.
Macro,…
In this combination list field, you can select a macro which is executed directly after a saving procedure.
Dimension type

Opens subset designer form a dimension
