About

Tag a dimension as time if it contains members that describe how often you collect and update data.

In the Sample.Basic database, for example, the Year dimension is tagged as time, as are its descendants—all Qtr members and the months (such as Jan).

The time dimension also enables several accounts dimension functions, such as first and last time balances.
