“When the company’s data is read in, for example from the beginning of the year, all dimension’s codes, found on actual data, are added to the list of unit. The codes are automatically steered to the Total level. More about dimension tree structures on paragraph <../maintain-trees/dimensiontreestructures.html>`_.

Note

  • Automatic maintenance of dimension in the interface is possible, for example, the automatic maintenance of the list structures; structure1 = by locality, structure2 = by industry etc.. However, this requires program change, that the System Admin cannot do.
