Working with Dimensions

Dimensions represent the key index fields for the Axiom Software database. All data in the system is associated with one or more dimensions. When first implementing Axiom Capital Tracking, a Kaufman Hall Implementation Consultant helps you configure the dimension tables to reflect the structure and processes of your organization.

A few examples of dimension tables include:

• DEPT – Similar to Entity, the DEPT dimension table contains records for each department within an organization (For example, radiology, emergency, finance, and so on).
• CAPACCT – The CAPACCT dimension table contains records for capital GL accounts used in capital planning calculations.
• PAYOR – The PAYOR dimension table includes records for records to be used in capital planning pro forma templates.
• CODE – The CODES dimension table contains records for storing back input fields in both pro forma and summary plan files.
• VENDOR – The VENDOR dimension table contains vendor records to be used in both Capital Planning and Capital Tracking for both purchasing and reporting. While this table is not truly a dimensions table, it is heavily utilized in Capital Tracking and therefore warrants a specific call out as tables that must be maintained.
