Members of an attribute dimension are potential attributes of the members of the associated base dimension. After you associate a base dimension with an attribute dimension, you associate members of the base dimension with members of the associated attribute dimension. The Market dimension member Connecticut is associated with the 6000000 member of the Population attribute dimension. That makes 6000000 an attribute of Connecticut.
In the outline, the information next to a base dimension member shows the attributes of that member. For example, Figure 41, Outline Showing Base and Attribute Dimensions shows that product 100-10 has three attributes—it has caffeine, is sold in 12-ounce containers, and is sold in cans.
