Cube Builder UI

The Cube Builder allows for creating an OLAP schema using icCube graphical interface. It allows for defining all needed parts of a schema: data sources, dimensions, hierarchies, calculated members, etc. Since we feel that a modern GUI should be as self explanatory as possible, this user guide will only roughly explain some of the basic concepts of the user interface, leaving the details for online help. Take into account that in order to use the builder, some basic knowledge of OLAP and MDX are beneficial. If you're new to this field have a look at our Gentle Introduction to MDX to get familiar with OLAP concepts.

Next chapter: Data Sources describes in more detail the available data sources in icCube.
