Configure Canvas Tool Panels

You can configure the sidebar of the canvas to show and hide tool panels, and persist the panels you work with the most.

About this task

Panel settings are per user. Your latest panel settings are retained between sessions in AtScale Design Center. The main canvas and dimension editor canvases have separate panel configurations.

Procedure

1. Click the icon to open a tool panel:

   Tool Panel	Description
   Measures	Shows the simple measures that have been added to the cube definition using the SQL aggregate calculations that AtScale supports for measures. This panel appears only on the main canvas.
   Dimensions	Shows the logical dimensions that have been created in or added to the cube. Double-click a dimension to open it in the dimension editor canvas.
   Hierarchies	Shows the hierarchies, levels, and secondary attributes of a dimension. This panel appears only on the dimension editor canvas.
   Preview	Shows what BI tools and client applications will see of either the entire cube or a selected perspective.
   User-Defined Aggregates	Shows the user-defined aggregate tables that have been defined for the cube. This panel appears only on the main canvas.
   System-Defined Aggregate Partitions	Shows the system-defined aggregate column partitions that have been defined for the cube. This panel appears only on the main canvas.
   Perspectives	Lists the perspectives that have been defined on the cube. Also, allows you to create new perspectives and edit existing ones.
   Data Sources	Shows the data sources that are configured. This is where you choose and import the Hive tables to base your cube on.
   Library	Shows a list of datasets and dimensions that have been added to the project.
   Calculated Measures	Shows the semi-additive measures that have been added to the cube definition using MDX-like expression syntax. This panel appears only on the main canvas.
