Dimension Pinnings dialog

Use this dialog to pin (or set) the value or values of one or more KPI dimensions. You set values of KPI dimensions, for example, when you add a strategy map that contains one or more KPIs that are dimensioned to a dashboard.

Pinning is optional. Typically, it is best not to pin most of the dimensions so that the data is controlled by the point of view settings.

For more information, see:

• "What Are KPIs?"

• "What Are Dimensions and Pinned Dimension Values?"

Components

List of Dimensions

Displays a list of the dimensions to be pinned.

To pin a dimension, click the down arrow to the right of the dimension and select one of the following options:

• A specific value or multiple values.

• Use Variable — Use this option to display the "Select Variable dialog," where you specify a variable to use to set the value. For more information on variables, see "Using Variables."

• Not Pinned — Use this option to specify that, initially, all dimension values are to be used. However, if, on a dashboard page, Scorecard, or KPI Watchlist, a control is provided, then a user can dynamically change the value to explore the data.

• Search — Use this option to display the "Search Members dialog," where you select one or more values with which to pin the KPI dimension.
