What is the purpose of Vertical Extensibility?

• A. Sharing extended Dimensions by Account
• B. Sharing extended Dimensions by Scenario Type
• C. Sharing extended Dimensions by Entity
• D. Sharing extended Dimensions by User-Defined Dimensions

Answer: (C)

Vertical Extensibility is about making extended dimension values available across all models within a single Entity. By defining the extended members at the Entity level, every cube or planning asset tied to that Entity can reuse the same set of extended dimension values, ensuring consistency and reducing duplication. This is what makes it different from sharing extended dimensions by Account (which would limit the extension to one account), by Scenario Type (which ties it to a planning scenario), or by User-Defined Dimensions (which concerns the base dimension structure itself). So, the purpose is to share extended dimensions by Entity.
