Adding attributes to Infor dimensions in the Extensibility space

This section describes how customers can add custom attributes to Infor-delivered dimensions without breaking the data warehouse model. Adding these attribute values is not limited to CDF fields in LN but can also come from external data sources such as Excel, depending on your license.

However, these restrictions are applicable:

• The attributes can be added only to specific Infor dimensions, which are mentioned in Extensibility details. Role playing dimensions inherit the custom attribute values from their source dimension. For example, Shop Floor Planner has the custom attributes values of Employee.
• Attributes are added only to existing dimension records. The extensibility functionality cannot be used to insert new dimension records.
• There is a maximum on the number of custom attributes that can be added. You can add 5 Date, 5 Datetime, 5 Floats, 5 Integers and 15 varchar (300) attributes to the dimensions.
• The added attributes do not have a speaking name and are shown in the custom subject area in a Custom Defined Fields folder, which is located at the bottom of the dimension attributes.
• Measures, dimensions, or fact tables cannot be added. These changes break the data model and should be implemented in a separate customer space.
