Directly Editing Existing Loaded Dimension Values

Existing loaded Dimension values can be edited, which enables you to temporarily change the displayed values for any loaded Dimension. This is designed to support demonstrations or prototypes.

Procedure: How to Change a Loaded Dimension to be User-Entered

In the Manage tab in PMF, click the Dimensions panel button.
Select the dimension that you wish to change. The Dimension Loader opens.
Select User Entered Dimension from the Table Type drop-down menu.
Select OK to close the dialog box that opens.
Click Save.
Once the changes have been saved, click Edit to edit the level values of the Dimension. For more information on how to do this, see How to Edit Level Values on a User-Entered Dimension.

Note: Clicking Unlock Panel will turn the Dimension into a standard user-entered Dimension. Doing so will permanently break any links with existing loaded Measures. The Dimension will then only be able to link to user-entered Measures. Also, any existing user-entered Measures might need to be re-entered, depending on the changes that were made.
