PMF stores the data it needs to operate within its own data mart. If you add a type of metadata in this tab it will appear in a drop-down menu within administrative forms.

On the Manage tab, you (the administrator) can manage metadata for the following components:

• Dimensions. Enables you to create new dimensions and access the Dimension Loader to load dimensions.
• Sources. Enables you to create and modify source data.
• Datapoints. Enables you to create and modify the different datapoint types.
