Setting up the dimensions and alternate hierarchies

  1. Start Designer.
  2. Select the planning database.
  3. Select Configuration > Planning Settings.
  4. Click the Common Settings tab.
  5. In the Settings column for Workforce Planning Dimension Settings, click the Click here to change the dimension settings text.
  6. Activate all analysis and segment dimensions that are displayed.
  7. Synchronize the dimensions.
    If you plan to use the demo data, do not synchronize the Job dimension.
    Note: If there are changes to the Organization dimension, an alternate hierarchy for the Organizations dimension is created.
  8. Recreate the database.
The structure of an alternate hierarchy corresponds to the default hierarchy structure. But alternate hierarchies also include elements that are designed to save values on consolidated elements.
