.1. Click User Controlled Attribute in the Admin Utilities view group.
2. In
the User Controlled
Attribute list window, click New User Controlled Attribute .
3. Set up the properties for the new attribute in the User Controlled Attribute Maintenance window.
Dimension - Choose the dimension to which you want the attribute added.
Attribute - Enter a name for the attribute.
Default Value - Specify a character(s) to display as the default value for the attribute. That value will be used for key values that do not yet have data for the attribute. When you see the default value for an attribute in a view, that indicates data does not currently exist for the attribute. For example, if you have not imported data for the attribute using Master Data Import functionality, all key values will be set to the default value. This property defaults to “?” but you can customize it to any text you prefer to use, up to 50 characters.
Create Hierarchy? - Optionally create a hierarchy based on the new attribute. Creating a hierarchy for it lets you see your data summarized by that attribute by making the attribute available as a level that can be included in rows / columns of a view. “Yes” will create it and enable the name fields below it. You can customize the name of the hierarchy and the level that gets created for it. Names must be different than the attribute on which they are based. The hierarchy and level name default to the name of the dimension for the attribute followed by the name given to the attribute. “No” will skip creating the hierarchy.
4. Save
properties
for the new attribute. You are returned to the list window where the addition
shows with a Pending Updates status of Yes. The attribute will be added
and available in Stratum.Viewer after the next Full process
occurs in Stratum.Connector. Contact your Stratum administrator for information
about when the next Full process is scheduled.
