The Sources Page: Virtual Cube

A virtual cube can combine data of two or more cubes. Data is not copied to a new cube but is obtained from source cubes.

NOTE. If a cube with configured attachments binding is selected as a source cube, the virtual cube will also have this option.

In the web application click the Add button.
In the desktop application click the Add button.

Select the required source in the dialog box that opens.

To quickly select an object, enter object's name/identifier/key in the search box depending on display settings. Search is executed automatically while the searched text is entered into the search string. The list will display the objects, which names/identifiers/keys contain the entered text.

To set up displaying of repository objects, click the Show Object button and select display option in the drop-down menu:
