Setting up analysis hierarchies

Analysis Hierarchy (ANH) allows you to define an analysis hierarchy for an analysis dimension, and set up the analysis hierarchy codes.

You can use an analysis hierarchy to reclassify the analysis codes for a dimension to provide a second, higher level of analysis for reporting purposes.

For example, you might have defined analysis dimension codes for:

  • sales areas and wish to summarize them into sales regions.
  • products and wish to summarize them into product category.

You can define more than one analysis hierarchy for an analysis dimension. For example, you may want to group the products in the product analysis dimension, by product category and by product size.
