Reusing dimensions with master dimensions

Last updated: 9/11/2026

When you are working with an unpublished application, you can create master dimensions so that they can be reused. Users of a published application will have access to the master dimensions, but will not be able to modify them.

You can create a master dimension in different ways.

• Creating a master dimension from a field
• Creating a master dimension from the assets panel
• Creating a master dimension from the data model viewer

• You can also create a master dimension based on a dimension created in a visualization.

  Click Master item> Add new under the dimension in the property panel of a visualization.

  The Create new dimensions dialog opens, with the dimension value from the property panel in Field.
