attribute

Add information to a database dimension. A dimension containing product details may include the names of the product managers as an attribute. Or, if the product names and codes in the dimension are not familiar to users or customers, ’friendly’ names might be used as attributes. Attributes are created in the OLAP database. Application Studio contains some intrinsic attributes. You cannot write back values to intrinsic attributes. In Analysis Services, OLAP attributes are called element properties.
