Using this function you can add documents to InfoCubes in different formats (for example, MS Word, PowerPoint, PDF, BMP, HTML).

Use this function to display all the settings for an InfoCube that have been made in the InfoCube maintenance in a clear tree structure. The InfoCube is displayed in a hierarchical tree display with its dimensions and InfoObjects.

Use this function to compare the following InfoCube versions:

• the active and revised versions of an InfoCube
• the active and Content versions of an InfoCube
• the revised and content versions of an InfoCube

This enables you to compare all the settings made in the tabstrips of the InfoCube maintenance.

You can choose and transport InfoCubes. All those BW objects that are needed to ensure a consistent status in the target system are collected automatically.

You can determine which other objects in BW can use a specific InfoCube.

You can also determine the consequences of making a particular change to an InfoCube and whether the change is permitted at the moment.

Use this function to see how the different BW objects relate to one another.

For example:

The dependencies can be displayed and exported in HTML format.

Note that you can subsequently create or activate navigation attributes in the InfoCube at any time. However, once you have activated an attribute, you are no longer able to deactivate it (because of any aggregates or selection variables that may have been defined).

By clicking a pushbutton on the key figures screen, you can display the units contained in the InfoCube. Units are not defined, but result from data from the transferred key figures.

You can assign InfoObjects specific properties that are valid only in the InfoCube you are currently processing.

The corresponding function is found in the menu under Extras.

Various information functions are available referring to the status of the InfoCube:

Navigation for InfoObject maintenance: Pushbuttons allow you to create, display and change individual InfoObjects. Note that changes to InfoObjects apply to all the places where the InfoObject is used (that means also in other InfoCubes)!

Undo change: This function resets the InfoCube to the active version, meaning that the changes that were made the last time data was saved, are undone.

Display active / SAP version: When you are editing the InfoCube, you can display its active version, or the version delivered by SAP (if it exists).

You load data from external sources by assigning a function module to an InfoCube. The function module is called when the data is loaded. It supplies the data temporarily. The function can be called from the context menu with Additional Characteristics.
