• Other settings are available at the dimension level are:
• Setting the Threshold: sets the Threshold or Apply conditional
formatting on Accounts. This option is only available in the Account
dimension. You can set the conditional formatting on Accounts at the
story level or in the Model itself. By setting the Threshold in the
Model , it would apply the conditional formatting to any stories
where the Dimension or Model is used .
• Add columns and Rows: adds additional columns and rows
• Copy Rows icon: copies the row
• Delete Rows and Columns: deletes rows and columns

34. • Next step is to add the Master data to the Account dimension.
• Account dimension has many columns. You can either type the members directly
in the grid .
• or you can prepare the master data in the Excel in the same format as Account
dimension and simply copy and paste the members in the dimension grid.

36. Add data to organizational dimensions also.

38. Add master data to generic dimension.
Once all the dimensions are created, click on Save icon to create the Model.
