Integration
Release 2018.1 for integration: Automated dimension metadata loader and API enhancements.
Automated Dimension Metadata Loading
Integration now includes a new Planning Dimension Loader for creating or updating custom dimension values. You can load them in-bulk without having to access the dimension administration screen within Adaptive Planning. Just like the other loaders, you map columns then apply business rules when you import.
The new loader lets you:
- Associate existing attribute values to dimension values during create/update of custom dimension values.
- Include the dimension loader within an Integration task to automate dimension value imports.
- View a detailed report of all the changes caused by the import.
