Dimensions Tags

The dimensions block defines the dimensions to process into the output data sets. These dimensions display in the ProDiver console and in DivePort dashboards and QuickView lists.

For example:

  dimensions {
    category "Account" {
      dimension "Account ID"
      dimension "Facility"
      dimension "Account Status Code"
    }
    category "Admission" {
      dimension "Admit Location"
      dimension "Admit Type"
    }  
  }

Dimensions Tags

Tags	Examples	Notes
dimensions	dimensions { ... }	Defines the container block for the `dimension` tags. Each dimension must be listed within a `category` block.
category	dimensions { category "Dates" { ... } category "Charges" { ... } ... }	Defines categories for the `dimensions` block. These categories appear in the ProDiver console of the validation DivePlans. Categories are ordered in the console as they are specified in the factory configuration file. NOTE: If you do not assign a non-numeric dimension to a category, the dimension appears in the Rules category if it is type Boolean; otherwise the dimension appears in the Other category. TIP: The `measures` block also has a `category` tag which is used by DivePort portlets.
dimension	dimensions { category "Dates" { dimension "Date" dimension "Discharge Date" } category "Financial" { dimension "Financial Class" dimension "Primary Payor" dimension "Final Billed Date" dimension "Billing Status Code" } ... }	Specifies the dimensions that are processed into the output data sets. List each dimension you want the factory build to make available on DivePort dashboards and in the QuickView pulldown lists. NOTE: Starting with 7.1(17), a ll numeric calc, lookup, link and plugin rules that are marked as dimensions have `suggested-dimension=true` set when they are added to data-set and scope cBases. This ensures that they appear as dimensions rather than as summaries in ProDiver.
date-rollup	dimension "Discharge Year-Month" { date-rollup period="month" rule="Discharge Date" format ="YYYY-MM" } dimension "Admit Day of Week" { date-rollup period="weekdays" rule="Admit Date" format="AAA" } dimension "Admit Month" { date-rollup period="monthname" rule="Admit Date" }	Defines a date-rollup as part of the `dimension` definition. Adds additional date dimensions for different period types. The code snippets show different date rollup examples: The first snippet shows a typical year-month rollup The second snippet shows a day-of-the-week rollup, for example Mon, Tues, Wed, Thu, Fri The third snippet shows a rollup by month name, for example January, February, March. NOTE: This function uses the standard calendar only. You cannot alias a rolled-up dimension.
group	dimension "Facility" { group "Two Facilities" "Longwoood Hospital" "Maplewood Hospital" }	Defines a group as part of the `dimension` definition. You can use named groups in Analysis portlets within DivePort pages in the following ways: As values in Analysis QuickViews As filters passed from a Matrix portlet—using the Portal page or Analysis click actions
period	period="month"	Defines the period for the `date-rollup` tag. Available period types are year, quarter, month, monthname, and weekdays.
rule	rule="Discharge Date"	Defines which rule to use for the `date-rollup` tag.
format	format="YYYY-MM" format="YYYY-Q"	Defines the format for the `date-rollup` tag.
diveport-central-page	dimension "MRN" { diveport-central-page "mrn_page" }	Defines a central page as part of the `dimension` definition. Available in Workbench 7.1(19) and later. Used in DivePort as follows: In a Measures, Matrix, or Analysis Portlet, if a row displays a dimension value and that dimension has an associated central page, DivePort automatically adds a Portal Page click action targeting the central page. For a Measures or Analysis Portlet, the click action can apply to the primary dimension on the window. For the Matrix Portlet the click action applies to dimensions in detail lines.
