Configuring the Dimensions view

Show Me
In this exercise, you will configure the Dimensions view to display the analysis of Order Value by product category and product.
An administrator has already created a dashboard named Orders Analysis by Product Category. The administrator has copied the concrete view and named the new Dimensions view copy Order Value by Product Category. You must have access rights in WebSphere® Portal to perform this task in the configure mode.
To configure the Dimensions view to display the order value by product category, complete the following steps:
  1. In the Dimensions view toolbar, click Configure.
  2. From the Subject area list, select Order Processing.
    Note: An asterisk * before a Subject Area name means that the corresponding cube is either not defined or not running.
  3. From the Available dimensions list, select the Product dimension, and then click Add to move it to the Row dimensions list.
  4. From the Available dimensions list, select the Measures dimension, and then click Add to move it to the Column dimensions list.
  5. To continue to the next page, click Next.
  6. Right-click the Measures dimension, and then select Member Filter from the pop-up menu.
  7. On the Member Filter window, select the Measures dimension on the Selected Members list, and then click Remove.
  8. Expand the measures on the Dimension Hierarchy tree, select Order Value, and then click Add.
  9. Click Apply, and then click OK. Both the grid and chart display the total Order Value for all products. To perform your multidimensional analyses:
    1. Right-click the Product dimension, and then select Drill down from the pop-up menu. Both the grid and chart display the Order Value per Product Category.
    2. Right-click the Product Category, and then select Drill down from the pop-up menu. Both the grid and chart display the Order Value for each Product under the Stationary Category.
  10. To save your configuration, click Finish.
The configured view displays the order value for products per product category.
