What are the columns activated in a standard sheet known as?

The columns activated in a standard sheet are known as dimensions. Dimensions in Workday Adaptive Planning represent the various categories of data that are used for structuring and analyzing information. These include elements like account, department, product, and time, and they serve as the foundation for organizing data within the model.

When a standard sheet is utilized, dimensions are essentially the framework that enables users to slice and dice the data for reporting and analysis purposes. Each dimension can hold various attributes that provide additional context to the data, but it is the dimensions themselves that play a key role in defining the structure of your planning model, facilitating trends analysis, forecasting, and strategic discussions.

The other options—attributes, labels, and categories—serve different roles within the application. Attributes usually provide additional information about dimensions but do not represent the columns themselves. Labels are typically used in reporting to provide descriptions or headings but are not a technical term for the structural components of a standard sheet. Categories often refer to groupings of items within a dimension but do not directly correspond to the activated columns in a standard sheet.
