Clicking on the YQM will change the display of the Time
dimension members to show the YQM member set. To the right of the drop-down
list in the same menu bar is a plus (+) sign button that will expand the member set to
display all the members within the member set, and a minus (-) sign button that will
collapse the member set to the top level members. Figure 7-14 shows the drop-down
list along with the YQM member set being displayed.
Creating User-Defined Dimensions
More often than not, the predefined dimensions that come with the PPS Planning
Server may not be sufficient to accurately model the planning needs of a business.
User-defined dimensions can be created in the Planning Business Modeler, which in
turn will extend the functionality and flexibility of the business models created in the
Planning application. There is no limit to the number of user-defined dimensions that
can be added to an application. The user-defined dimensions can then be customized
to suit the business models requirements. This section will discuss how to add a userdefined
dimension to a Planning application.
The first item under the Dimension Tasks shown in Figure 7-11 is the link to
Create a Dimension. Clicking on this link will display the Create a Dimension
Wizard. The first page of the wizard asks for the Name, Label, and an optional
Description of the new dimension. The value Employee is entered in all the three
text boxes (as shown in Figure 7-15), for the purpose of the examples in this chapter.
