Setting Up Data Source Structure

To view and set up selection view or displaying of alternative hierarchies as dimensions in the report, go to the Data Source Structure tab of the Parameters dialog box.

Open the dialog box

To set up data source structure, execute the following operations:

  1. Select a data slice in the Source drop-down list. After the slice is selected, the Show Selected Dimensions Only area shows a list of all dimensions contained in this slice.

  2. Use the Show Dimensions area to select checkboxes next to the dimensions to display in the group of tabs on the Selection side panel.

              •   Standard cube, which dictionary attributes are used as alternative hierarchy.
