CreateSyncGroup(SyncItem: IEaxDimensionDescriptor): IEaxSyncGroup;;
SyncItem. Dimension description.
The CreateGroup method creates a link of synchronized dimensions.
Link type depends on the type of the added dimension:
IEaxPivotDimensionInstance. The dimension will be synchronized by selection of table elements/table visualizer elements on the side panel.
IEaxObjectDimensionInstance. The dimension will be synchronized by selected data of table elements/table visualizer elements in the working area.
To set up synchronization of the required dimension, use the IEaxSyncItem.
To determine the slice, in which the required dimension is included, via IEaxDimensionInstance.Slice.
To determine the key of the required synchronization dimension via IEaxDimensionInstance.DimKey.
To search for the synchronization element by selection/selected data, cast IEaxSyncItem.Dimension to the corresponding type IEaxPivotDimensionInstance/IEaxObjectDimensionInstance.
To remove the link of synchronized dimensions by its index, use IEaxSyncGroups.Remove.
Executing the example requires that the repository contains a regular report with the REG_SYNCH identifier containing three analytical data areas based on the same source slices. The data source should contain a calendar dimension based on a calendar dictionary and the Countries dimension based on an MDM dictionary. These dimensions will be used to set up synchronization.
Add links to the Express, Metabase and Report system assemblies.

End Sub UserProc;
After executing the example, the synchronization is set up:
By selection for the first and the second slices of the Countries dimension.
By selected data for the second and the third slices of the calendar dimension.
