Mapping Additional Dimensions to an Existing Data Source

You can add additional dimensions to an existing data source using the Dimension Mapping related list on the data source record page. This can be useful if you missed a mapping when you created the data source.

To map a dimension to an existing data source:

  1. From the Data Sources tab, open the data source to which you want to add the dimension mapping.
  2. On the record page, click the Related tab.
  3. In the Dimension Mappings related list, click New.
  4. Select the Extended Planning and Analysis dimension that you want to map, for example, GLA.
  5. In the Analytics Dimension Name field, enter the API name of the dimension in the dataset, for example, GeneralLedgerAccountName. You can retrieve this information from Analytics Studio. For more information, see the Salesforce Help.
  6. In the Analytics Dimension field, enter the label of the dimension in the dataset, for example, General Ledger Account Name.
  7. Click Save.

The dimension mapping is now saved and the dimension is available when creating plans from the data source.
