Facts
- Source - contains the corresponding source tables and variables
- Dimension - contains the common dimensions needed by the models
The available fact spaces depend on the industry. See the Infor M3 Analytics for <Industry> Product Guide for more information.
- Grains
These represent the fact tables in Birst. A grain can have multiple scripted sources targeted to it, depending on the granularity.
- Hierarchies
Dimensions being used by only one domain are also loaded in the fact spaces. For example, Customer Order Status is only being used in Sales. As such, the hierarchy is created within the Sales space only.
- Scripted Sources
The scripted sources populate the hierarchies and grains. A scripted source may also populate both a dimension and fact table.
A package containing the hierarchies and grains available in the fact space is created.
