Dimensions

Dimensions in Valsight structure data into cluster such as product, region, or time, so values can be organized, aggregated, and analyzed across different views.

Who this section is for

This section is for users who define, structure, or maintain dimensions in Valsight.

Because dimensions are referenced by every subsystem that handles data (data sources, models, workspaces), anyone working in those areas benefits from understanding the dimensions their work depends on.
