What are specific entries within a dimension category called?

Specific entries within a dimension category are referred to as dimension values. These values represent the individual elements that exist within a dimension, such as specific product names in a product dimension or various department names in a department dimension. They serve as the actual items that populate the dimension and can be used in analysis, reporting, and planning activities.

Dimension values are crucial for providing detailed insights and allowing for deeper analysis within a model, as they define the distinct categories or items that data can be grouped or reported by. This is what enables users to create meaningful reports and dashboards in Workday Adaptive Planning.

Dimension properties refer to the characteristics of the dimension itself, while custom attributes are additional fields created to capture more unique information about dimension values. Linked accounts are a concept different from dimension values, as they pertain to connections between accounts in financial planning rather than categorization within a dimension.
