View Dependencies Enhancements for Custom Dimension Values
With this release, we improve the
View Dependencies
capability for
custom dimension values. In the tabs, we now provide more comprehensive information to help you
locate where the model uses and references dimension values. Knowing where to find the dimension
values helps you complete required tasks so that you can delete dimension values.Watch the video:

Release: 2023-03-11To help you prepare for the deletion of dimension values, we
provide new Usage tabs when you click View Dependencies from the Dimension Value Details section
in Modeling.
These new tabs offer information that you must resolve before deleting
dimension values:
- Standard Data: We list the account, version, and level where dimension splits on standard sheets use the dimension value.
- Modeled Data: We list the name of modeled sheets that include rows with the dimension value. We also list the version and level.
- Cube Data: We list the account code, with the cube sheet prefix where you have associated data with the dimension value on cube sheets. We also list the version, and level.
- Derived Dimensions: We list the name of the derived dimension that refers to the dimension value. We also list the version and level.
- Level Dimensions: We list level names and level codes that are tagged with the dimension value.
These new tabs provide additional information that you don't need to resolve before
deleting dimension values:
- Transactions: We list accounts and levels where transactional data has been tagged with the dimension value in all accounts that support transactional data.
- Link Properties: We list the account name and code of linked accounts that use the dimension value for Apply Dimension Value or Linked Filters prompts.
Updates to Existing Tabs in the Usage
Dialog
Release: 2023-03-11We update existing tabs to provide more information on how
the model currently uses the dimension value.
In the
Reports
tab,
we now list the username of the report builder. We also include reports that have the specific
dimension value in the report builder canvas. We now list the level code for these
existing tabs:
- Shared Formulas
- Cube Entries
- Other Entries
We also change the Rules tab name to Allocation Rules.
