About this task

To open the dimension editor canvas, double-click the dimension name on the cube canvas or in the Library panel.

• Edit the Dimension Name When you first create a dimension, you assign it a logical name or caption. This name is propagated to the initial hierarchy and key level that is created for the dimension, as well as to the dimension label used on the cube canvas. You can edit the dimension's canvas name, hierarchy name, and key level name separately after the dimension is created.
• Edit a Hierarchy Once a dimension is created, you can always edit the hierarchy to change its name or other properties. Double-click the hierarchy name to open the edit dialog.
• Edit a Level You can always edit an existing level in a dimension to change its name or other properties. Double-click the level name to open the edit dialog.
• Edit a Secondary Dimensional Attribute You can always edit an existing secondary dimensional attribute in a dimension to change its name or other properties. Double-click the attribute name to open the edit dialog.
• Using Custom Empty Members for Levels and Attributes Enable this feature to handle NULL values so Data Architects are not forced to fix their fact datasets.
