Part 2: Set Up Dimensions

In this part, you create the dimensions, levels and level values.

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

For detailed reference on any of the concepts here, see Dimensions.

In this tutorial, you will use:

• Time: predefined by Valsight
• Product: Premium, Standard
• Location: France, Germany, USA, Canada, grouped into regions: Europe, Americas

The Location dimension uses a hierarchy:

• Region
• Country
