Defining Attributes in Models

In the Attributes tab of the Essbase Model Properties dialog box, you define the way that attribute dimensions are created in the model.

Use attributes to retrieve and analyze data in terms of characteristics, or attributes, of dimensions. For example, you can analyze product profitability based on size or packaging, and you can make more effective conclusions by incorporating market attributes, such as the population size of each market region, into your analysis.

For information on attributes, see Attributes Overview.

For information on varying attributes, see Varying Attributes Overview.
