For the purpose of this scenario, select all of the
Activity parameters for dimensions: the Sheet.1\Front
view\DrwDressUp.1\Dimension.#\Activity,
Sheet.1\Top
view\DrwDressUp.1\Dimension.#\Activity

created. Click OK in the file selection dialog box.
The design table feature is added to the specification tree and a dialog
box displays the newly created design table. This design table contains
only one configuration, on line 1. By default, all dimensions are active
(their Activity parameters are set to "true").

Click the Edit table... button to start an
Excel application (under Windows) or open the text editor (under Unix).
-
In column C, set each item to "false".

item to "false" and Sheet.1\Top
view\DrwDressUp.1\Dimension.#\Activity and
Sheet.1\Left
view\DrwDressUp.1\Dimension.#\Activity
item to "true". This will enable you to deactivate some of the
dimensions while keeping other dimensions active.

An information message is displayed to let you know that the design table
was updated; click Close. The design table now contains 3
configurations.

table dialog box. Select line 3, for instance, and click Apply.
You can notice that the dimensions in the front view are deactivated,
while the dimensions in the other views remain active.

Click OK to exit the dialog box and add the
design table to the document.
