Cubes are first-class database objects that store data in a dimensional format. The General tab displays the most basic information about a cube.
Name
A simple name.
To provide default labels, use an underscore for spaces; Analytic Workspace Manager provides initial capitals automatically. For example, units_cube generates the name UNITS_CUBE and the label Units Cube.
You cannot change the name after creating the cube.
ID
The fully qualified name.
This information appears on the property sheet after the cube has been created; it does not appear on the initial dialog box.
Short Label
A short descriptive name for display, usually in mixed case.
Long Label
A long descriptive name for display, usually in mixed case.
Description
Additional descriptive text, which can include mixed case and spaces.
Available Dimensions
A list of dimensions defined in the analytic workspace that are available for the cube, but have not been selected. Use the shuttle keys to move dimensions between Available Dimensions and Selected Dimensions. You cannot change the dimensions after creating the cube.
Selected Dimensions
A list of dimensions for the cube. All measures in the cube are defined with these dimensions.
