The Administration Services Create Date-Time Dimension wizard uses your option selections to design a time-analysis structure including date-time dimension through calendar templates. You choose a calendar type, customize it to your business requirements, and select other options to fit your time-analysis needs. The wizard creates the following outline components:
The date-time dimension.
(Optional) Linked attribute dimensions and member associations.
(Optional) Attribute dimensions associated with day-level members. These are standard Boolean or text attributes based on specific dates or days of the week. You can use these attributes to include or exclude day-level information. For example, the wizard enables defining the following types of situations:
Assigning a Boolean attribute dimension such as “Weekend” to selected days of the week, resulting in every day of the week having a [Weekend].[True] or [Weekend}.[False} attribute.
Assigning attributes for special days or holidays that you designate.
Assigning text attributes such as “Monday” and “Tuesday” to appropriate weekdays.
The Administration Services Create Date-Time Dimension wizard builds all members for the calendars and time ranges specified.
