Dimension

A Dimension, also called a Dimension Node, creates a table of descriptive attributes used in analytics. Examples include customer profiles, product catalogs, and calendar tables.

Dimension Nodes are one of the default Node Types in Coalesce. They follow the same deploy and refresh model as other Nodes: Create Template for DDL at deploy time, Run Template for DML at refresh time.

Model dimensions upstream of Fact Nodes so joins and aggregations stay consistent across your pipeline.

See Nodes and Node Types for modeling guidance.
