Reviewing results
When the option to update fact counts is disabled, reporting data is not updated during dimension trimming operations. As a result, discrepancies can be introduced between the sum of event counts not filtered by the trimmed dimension and the sum of event counts filtered by the trimmed dimension. If a set of dimension values was trimmed and the corresponding report data was not updated retroactively, a warning message is displayed in the Portal when the dimension is used in a Report Builder report.
Note: If you do not update counts in the reporting data as part of
your dimension trimming, updates for previously reviewed dimension
values are not then applied to the reporting data if the option is
enabled later.
- After you reviewed the results of the trimming operation in your reports, you can reset the trim flag on the dimension so that the Portal message is no longer displayed when the dimension is used in reports. See Manage Events - Dimensions Tab.
