Displaying the Descriptions
The multidimensional model designer may associate more than one datum to each element of the dimension.
Besides the default label displayed as element name, the long label, introduced above, a description containing any relevant data you wish to associate to the same element can be defined.
For instance, for the "Client" dimension, it may be interesting to check the e-mail addresses in some occasion. In order to do that, it is possible to associate such datum to the description field in each dimension. It is important to point out that the description may perform a query specifically for a given element.
To show descriptions of elements or values:
- Select the element of which you wish to see a description.
- Select the "Description" option from the right-click drop down menu.Â
- Close the window showing the description to go back to O3 Browser desktop.
