Dimensions

What you analyze by

Dimensions are the attributes you break down analysis by. They answer questions like "by what?" or "for which?"

Examples

• Names, categories, statuses: (customer_name, product_category, loyalty_card_level)

• Non-aggregated numeric attributes: (age, truck_capacity)

• Time-based attributes (order_date, created_at)

• Flags (is_active, is_premium)

Time grains for date dimensions

When a dimension is a date/timestamp, you can specify valid aggregation levels. For example by day, week, or quarter.

This tells agents they can say "show me by month" or "group by quarter" for this dimension.
