    Hi - from the design doc  though I bet OS support might be more helpful: Entity Dimension (onestreamcloud.com)

    Dimension Properties Tab

    These properties are standard across all Dimensions. 

    Dimension Type

    Identifies the Dimension it currently is such as Account…UD8.

    Name

    The current name of the Dimension

    Description

    The current description of the Dimension

    Access Group

    This security group has access to the Dimension

    Maintenance Group

    This security group has access and can make changes to the Dimension.

    Source Type

    Standard

    Normal metadata Member must match a Cube.

    Business Rule

    Connects to a Business Rule so that a set of Members does not have to match a Cube.

    XBRL

    Connects to an XBRL taxonomy.

    Source Path

    Enter the Business Rule name or the full File System Path for the XBRL Taxonomy’s Link Definition File.
    ‘Internal/XBRL/Taxonomies/EntryPoints/….’

    Name Value Pairs (e.g., Param1=Value1,…)

    Enter a comma-separated list of name-value pairs if the Source Type is a Business Rule or XBRL.
