Using the outline editor to add dimensions
In this recipe, we will be adding a new application and database to our Essbase Server. We will use the Outline Editor to add the Year and Scenario dimensions to our outline. In addition, we will set up our Year dimension as our Time dimension and add time-series functionality to our database. We will also add two calculated members in the Scenario dimension to take advantage of Essbase's variance reporting functionality. This recipe is the first of five recipes used to build and load the Sample Basic database.
