Overview
The Advanced Dimension Editor for Dynamics NAV data sources allows users to quickly and easily incorporate any number of NAV Advanced Dimensions into their project. This functionality will automatically add the necessary tables, create links between tables, and add the dimensions to the OLAP cubes.
Note: The Advanced Dimension Editor will only work with a single data source. If multiple data sources are used in the project the additional dimensions will need to be added manually.
The Advanced Dimension Editor is not currently supported for Dynamics 365 Business Central Public Cloud data sources.
