Employee Dimension

Elements in the Employee dimension are planning entities for human resources planning and reporting. The planning entities can be either single individuals or groups of employees with uniform properties. The employee dimension is an arbitrary hierarchy breaking down the staff to the planning items. The total element must be All Employees.

Mandatory elements in this dimension are:

Element

Definition

All Employees

Root element summarizing all base elements, showing 100% of the staff.

~

The NA (not applicable) element of the dimension, which holds data that is not broken down by employee. Must be child of All Employees. This is also the default write element of this dimension

Unassigned

Grouping of unexpected elements found during data load. Must be child of All Employees. This is the default parent element of this dimension.

This dimension must have additional base elements to hold data that is broken down by employee.

The employee elements can be configured through their attributes:
