Specifying Accounts and Time Dimensions

When you tag a dimension as accounts, Essbase knows that the dimension contains members with accounts tags. When you tag a dimension as time, Essbase knows that this dimension is the one on which to base the time periods for the accounts tags.

As shown in Figure 129, Sample.Basic Outline Showing Accounts and Time Tags, the Measures dimension is tagged as accounts, and the Year dimension is tagged as time.
