To view the dimension settings, display the Decision Cube editor and click the Dimension Settings tab. Then, select a dimension or summary in the Available Fields list. Its information appears in the boxes on the right side of the editor:

• To change the dimension or summary name that appears in the decision pivot, decision grid, or decision graph, enter a new name in the Display Name edit box.
• To determine whether the selected field is a dimension or summary, read the text in the Type edit box. If the dataset is a TTable component, you can use Type to specify whether the selected field is a dimension or summary.
• To disable or activate the selected dimension or summary, change the setting in the Active Type drop-down list box: Active, As Needed, or Inactive. Disabling a dimension or setting it to As Needed saves memory.
• To change the format of that dimension or summary, enter a format string in the Format edit box.
• To display that dimension or summary by Year, Quarter, or Month, change the setting in the Binning drop-down list box. Note that you can choose Set in the Binning list box to put the selected dimension or summary in a permanently "drilled down" state. This can be useful for saving memory when a dimension has many values. For more information, see Decision support components and memory control.
• To determine the starting value for ranges, or the drill-down value for a "Set" dimension, first choose the appropriate Grouping value in the Grouping drop-down, and then enter the starting range value or permanent drill-down value in the Initial Value drop-down list.
