Time Profiles

Time Profiles are used to create different Fiscal Years in order to apply them to different Cubes. Use the Standard Time Dimension Profile if the Fiscal Year begins in January, otherwise create a new Time Dimension Profile with the desired Fiscal Year start date. Once the Time Dimension Profile is created, assign it to the specific Cube to which it is being used.  Time Dimension Profiles are included during Metadata load/extract. The default Time Dimension Profile for Cube Views is determined by the Cube POV settings.  The time display for the Workflow POV is determined by the Cube assigned to the Workflow Profile. The Standard Time Dimension Profile is used for all time varying properties such as Formulas, In Use, Text Fields, etc. 

Time Dimension Profiles can also be specified in a Substitution Variable or Member Filter Functions and used in Cube Views. See Substitution Variables for Cube Views or Dashboards and Commonly Used Member Filter Functions for more details.
