When you are working with an unpublished app, you can create master dimensions so that they can be reused. Users of a published app will have access to the master dimensions, but will not be able to modify them. The data model viewer is not available in a published app.
Do the following:
-
In the data model viewer, select a field and open the Preview panel.
-
Click Add as dimension.
The Create new dimension dialog opens, with the selected field. The name of the selected field is also used as the default name of the dimension.
-
Change the name if you want to, and optionally add a description, color, and tags.
- Click Create.
-
Click Done to close the dialog.
The dimension is now saved to the master items tab of the assets panel.
Considerations
A master dimension is a type of master item. When working with master items, consider the following:
-
Master items can only be viewed, edited, created, and deleted when editing a private sheet. You cannot perform actions on master items from a public or community sheet.
-
Depending on your permissions, your access to master items might be limited. For example, you might be able to view the master items in an app but not create, edit, or delete them. For more information about how permissions affect actions on master items, see Permissions for working with master items.
-
You cannot create, edit, or delete the master items of a published app. Instead, perform these actions in the source app and then re-publish the app to the managed space.
