You can create dimensions from the library or directly while building a model. Setting up dimensions correctly ensures your data stays organized and easy to analyze.

​
Where to create a dimension

There are two primary ways to create a new dimension:
  • From the Library: Navigate to the Library and open the Dimension list page to create and manage the dimension centrally.
  • From a Model: While you are actively working in a model, you can open the page panel and select the option to add dimensions on the fly.

​
Editing default values

Once a dimension is added, Oculon automatically creates default values to act as placeholders. For example, if you name your new dimension Product, initial values such as product 1 and product 2 are generated for you. You can open the dimension to edit these placeholder rows into your actual business values and add as many additional rows as you need.

​
The dimension details page

From the dimension details page, you have full control over the structure of your dimension. Here you can:
  • Add rows: Continue adding new values to the dimension list.
  • Add columns: Add columns to define properties or relationships. This allows you to store additional context about the dimension members or use them to map dimensions to each other.
