Dimension Combination Usages Sub-Tab

This section includes the fields and descriptions for the Dimension Combination Usages sub-tab.

Field Description
Used In This field shows the type of information to which the current reference pertains. The field may, for example, show whether the dimension combination is referenced from an asset group, an activity, a job, and so on. If the dimension combination is referenced in a workspace in which you can specify posting references per department in the table part, the field “Department” shows the name of department for which the dimension combination is specified.
Key 1 This field shows the value of the first key field for the type of information for which the dimension combination has been specified. A key value is a unique identification of a certain job, activity, dimension value, and so on. Two items of the same information type cannot have the same key value.

The field that contains the key value is called the key and varies from information type to information type. For instance, the key on activities is the activity number, and the key to entities is the entity number.

In certain cases, a key consists of two key values, key 1 and 2. In these cases, the combination of the two key values constitutes the key of that information type. An example of this is task list lines, where the first key value points to the task list to which the task line belongs, and the second key value is the line number. So it is possible for several pieces of information to have the same value in key 1 or key 2, but there can be no more than one piece of information with the same combination of values in key 1 and 2.

Key 2 This field shows the value of the second key field for the type of information for which the dimension combination has been specified. For more information about key fields and values, please see the description of the field “Key 1” above.
Department If the current line pertains to a reference to the current dimension combination in a workspace in which you can enter posting references for every department in the table part (for example, the Activities workspace), this field shows the department for which the dimension combination has been specified.
