How do Dimension assignments vary in a Cube?

• A. Scenario
• B. Entity
• C. Scenario Type
• D. Budget Cycle

Answer: (C)

Dimension assignments determine which members are used for each cube dimension when you query, and they can be tied to the context in which the cube is evaluated. The reason tying them to the Scenario Type is the best approach is that Scenario Type groups related scenarios (such as all forecast-related scenarios) and lets you apply a consistent set of dimension mappings across all of them. This enables reuse of the same cube structure while reflecting the appropriate dimensional view for that type, without duplicating mappings for every individual scenario. Budget Cycle affects planning timing rather than how dimensions map, and tying assignments to a single Scenario would force separate mappings for each one, reducing reuse and increasing maintenance.
