Selectable Fields for Dimensions

This section lists the selectable fields for dimensions.

Selectable Fields for Dimension
Field Description Output

attribute

Lists the attributes to which this dimension has been applied

Returns the name of the attribute(s) this dimension applies to

attribute[ATTRNAME]

Use to determine whether or note a specific attribute has this dimension applied to it

Returns TRUE or FALSE indictating whether or not the dimension is applied to the specified attribute

dbunit

Database unit: the units of the default (normalized) dimension

Returns the name of the default unit

object[ ]

a corresponding business object

Returns a business object where the type matches the string in [ ] and the name is the same as the dimension's name. If no string is given, the object type is dimension, with case ignored. In a case sensitive environment if more than 1 type meets that criteria (such as both a Person type and a PERSON type), OR if there are more than 1 object with the same type and name that are not in the same revision chain, the object with the latest originated date is returned. When objects with same type and name are in the same revision chain, the latest revision is returned.

system

Lists the systems associated with the dimensin

Returns the systems defined in the dimension

system[SYSTEMNAME]

Use to determine whether or note a specific system name has been defined for this dimension

Returns TRUE or FALSE indictating whether or not the system is applied to the dimension

unit

All units defined for the dimension

Returns the names of the units in the dimension

unit[UNITNAME]

Use to determine whether or not a specific unit has been added to a dimension

Returns TRUE or FALSE indicating whether or not the unit is defined for the dimension

unit[UNITNAME].default

Use to determine whether or not the specified unit is the normalized value for the dimension

Returns TRUE or FALSE indicating whether or not the unit is the default (normalized) unit

unit[UNITNAME].multiplier

Use to determine the multiplier value for the specified unit

Returns the value of the multiplier used to convert data from the input value to the normalized value

unit[UNITNAME].offset

Use to determine the offset value for the specified unit

Returns the value of the offset used to convert data from the input value to the normalized value

unit[UNITNAME].label

Use to retrieve the label assigned to the unit

Returns the label of the unit

unit[UNITNAME].dimension

Use to retrieve the name of the dimension for which the unit is defined

Returns the dimension that the unit is part of

unit[UNITNAME].systemunit

Use to determine the system to which the unit belongs

If an index (systemname) is given, returns the corresonding systemunit. If no index is given, returns a list of all systemunits applied to this unit.
