3. Select or create the appropriate data delimiter. The appropriate delimiter

is the character or set of characters that are used to separate the columns of
your data. Essbase offers you a few of the most common delimiters and gives
you the option of setting your own delimiters based on what is being used in
your data file.

Step 5: Set the View to Dimension build fields
In this step, we need to define if this rule is used for Dimension build fields view
or Data load fields view. By default, Data load ield view is selected.

• Dimension build ield : You will select this option when you are using the
rules file with your data file to add new members to the outline or to update
existing members in the outline.
• Data load ield : This option is for loading data with a data load rules file
and will be discussed in more detail later.

To set the Dimension build fields view in EAS, with the Data Prep Editor open:

• Click on View and then select the checkbox Dimension build fields as
we are currently doing a dimension build. We will talk in-depth about
the Data load fields view in the next chapter.
