Dimensions are really just lookup tables for Foundational and/or Document tables - although they could be dimensions for other dimensions.

Some of them play an important role in the behavior of the Business applications - like the System Objects and the Business Objects - and some are just for Reporting (internal or external).


The alpha360 WINDEV apps use simple WX UI tables to add, edit and delete dimension entries.


* Note: some dimensions are linked with a constraint- at the database level - with other tables.

Entries of these type of dimension, "actively linked", cannot be deleted - the system will not allow it.


Since most dimensions are "self-explanatory" - we are going to document here only the System Objects and Business Objects, because of their importance.
