Renaming dimension report files

When you create budget metadata, the names of the dimension files that you export are determined by the names that you give the dimensions. For example, if you name a dimension ACCT, then the dimension export file name will be ACCT.ASC. Dimension export file names must not contain spaces or special characters. Use this procedure to map a new file name to each metadata dimension.

  1. Click Options from Budget Architect (EB10.1).
  2. Click Dimension Rpts. The Dimension Report File Names (EB19.2) form displays.
  3. Enter the new export file name to be associated with each dimension. By default, the dimension names are used with the ASC extension.
    Note: Budget dimension file names must be unique. If you have multiple budgets in Budget Architect and you do not use unique dimension file names across budgets, then it might overwrite the dimension files when you transfer them from the Lawson server.
  4. Click Add or Change to save the file names.
