Create a link dimension

This step assumes you have created a shared dimension which you want to use.

These steps guide you through creating a link dimension using the Annotate Stream step.

1. If you haven't done so already, complete steps 1-7 in Use the Annotate Stream step.

2. Select Link Dimension from the Actions drop-down menu. The Name - Value table auto-populates with a list of annotation properties for the dimension.

   Component	Description
   Dimension Name	Enter a name for the dimension. Note that you can overwrite the dimension name set in the Shared Dimension step.
   Shared Dimension	Enter or select a previously created Shared Dimension to link to from the drop-down menu.

3. Use the Previous and Next buttons to navigate through the fields. When finished, click OK to save your annotations and close the dialog box, or Cancel to close the dialog box without saving your annotations.

Remember that before your link dimension can be used by others, you must create a dimension key for the shared dimension to link to. When creating annotations, you can use a single field more than once, so you will be able to use the same field for both the key and to create annotations.
