by Maha Hussari

If you have a lot of dimensions and measures in your data pane and just like to organise things into different compartments for easy access - this is the post for you.

Creating Folders In The Data Plane:

Right click on a dimension/measure you want to add to your new folder -> Folders -> Create Folder  -> Name new folder

Once you have clicked "OK". On the top of your data pane, a new folder will appear with the dimension/measure under the new folder.


If you want to add more dimension/measures into the folder, there are 2 ways to do this:

  • By dragging the dimension/measure into the new folder created
  • By right clicking the dimension/measure -> Folders ->Add to Folder -> Newly created folder will appear

Deleting Folders In The Data Plane:
