Public Dimensions
1 Overview
Dimensions are an important concept in data analysis, used to describe different characteristics of data or to observe data from different angles. These dimensions can be time, location, product type, customer type, etc. By using dimensions, we help classify and summarize data, enabling us to better understand and organize data.
The metrics center supports defining public dimensions between different metrics, enabling unified management and definition of dimensions with the same meaning across different metrics, facilitating subsequent unified analysis.
2 Operation Steps
2.1 Create New Public Dimension
-
Select "Public Dimensions" in the left navigation bar of the metrics center, and click the "New Dimension" button in the top right corner.
-
Configure the dimension, defining fields with the same meaning from multiple datasets as a public dimension for subsequent unified management.
2.2 Manage Public Dimensions
Successfully created public dimensions can be viewed in the list on the public dimensions page, supporting editing, transferring responsible persons, and deleting.
When public dimensions are already being used by metrics, deletion will affect the calculation accuracy of metrics with public dimensions. Please delete with caution.
2.3 Apply Public Dimensions
When creating metrics, you need to select the applicable dimensions for the metrics. If it includes fields configured as public dimensions, those fields will be highlighted.
