Owner Property

The owner designating dimension property is created in any dimension used as a driving dimension for a business process flow.

You add the property to the dimension with any name. We recommend using a naming convention that denotes the relationship to business process flow owners. A dimension can have one or more owner designating properties as long as each is unique.

For example, if your business process dictates that an entity is the differing factor when it comes to entering data, the Entity-type dimension is the dimension that drives the owner of the activity context. If your business process dictates that a department name is the differing factor, the Department dimension would have a unique owner designating property that drives the owner of the activity context. The โ€œOwnerโ€ property used for work status is a reserved property. The business process flow owner properties must be named with a unique name.

Prerequisites

The dimension you select to drive must have at least an owner type dimension property. When more than one exists, you choose the appropriate property to use in the business process flow.

Features

The owner designating property takes user and team names in brackets as values. You can enter multiple names and teams separated by commas. You must also include the domain or server name in the path.

Activities

You do the following to set up an Owner property:

  • Set up the owner property by accessing the Dimension Library, choosing Maintain Dimension Property, and adding an owner.

  • Assign the owner property to a dimension by accessing Maintain Dimension Members. Define the owner property on a dimension such as Entity, then define the property values. You can enter multiple names and teams separated by commas. You must also include the domain or server name in the path.
