### DimensionInfo Object

The DimensionInfo object acts as a container to hold individual dimension information in your report.

Using the DimensionInfo Object in a Label Template

Using the Object Bar for the Label Template editor, add and size the DimensionInfo object so that it appears as desired in your Label Template editor's display area. Save the label template. Next, use the Rule Tree Editor dialog box for a new or existing report template to specify under what conditions (for what dimensions) PC-DMIS will call and display that label template. See the "About the Rule Tree Editor" topic in this chapter for information on how to do this.

Using the DimensionInfo Object in a Custom Report

Using the Object Bar for the Custom Report editor, drag or drop the DimensionInfo object into the Custom Report. The Dimension Info dialog box will appear allowing you to select the dimension to be associated with the object.

Dimension Info dialog box

Select the dimension from the dialog box, set whatever options you want, and click OK. PC-DMIS displays a table on your report that contains the dimension information.

See "Inserting Dimension Info Boxes" in the "Inserting Report Commands" chapter for complete information on how to use this dialog box to display dimension information.

Properties specific to this object are listed below. Many of these you can set by clicking on the (Settings Dialog) property:
