Elements
Dimensions are made up of elements. TM1 currently supports three types of elements:
Key points are numeric elements which can be referred to as simple element types and identify the lowest level in a dimension hierarchy and consolidation elements. They are created strictly to calculate an aggregation.
Editing element properties
If you have added elements of a specified type to your dimension and you wish to change it, you can edit the element properties to assign a new weight to the element of a consolidation, or to change the element type (of a simple element).
Keep in mind that you cannot change the element type of any consolidated elements and you cannot assign an element weight to any instance of an element that is not a member of a consolidation.
Warning! Once your dimension is a part of the cube that contains data you must be very careful while changing any element properties to prevent loss of any data loaded to that element.
The Dimension Element Properties dialog is used to make the changes to the selected element.
