If a standard cube is selected as a data source, to set up data visualization, use the Dimensions area on the side panel:

If alternative hierarchy based on attributes is set up for one or several cube dimensions, the side panel displays the dictionaries by configured attributes for this dimension on the side panel. The Attribute name name is displayed by default for dimensions with hierarchy based on attributes.

Dimensions with hierarchy based on dictionary attributes can be used as additional dimensions to set up data visualization.

After the hierarchy based on dictionary attributes is applied, the dimension is aggregated, elements that are equal by attribute are combined into one element.
