Browsing the Cube
After you deploy a cube, the cube data is viewable on the Browser tab in Cube Designer, and the dimension data is viewable on the Browser tab in Dimension Designer.
To browse the deployed cube
Switch to Dimension Designer for the Product dimension in Business Intelligence Development Studio. To do this, double-click the Product dimension in the Dimensions node of Solution Explorer.
Click the Browser tab to display the All member of the Product Key attribute hierarchy. In lesson three, you will define a user hierarchy for the Product dimension that will let you browse the dimension.
Switch to Cube Designer in Business Intelligence Development Studio. To do this, double-click the Analysis Services Tutorial cube in the Cubes node of Solution Explorer.
Select the Browser tab, and then click the reconnect icon on the toolbar of the designer.
The left pane of the designer shows the objects in the Analysis Services Tutorial cube. On the right side of the Browser tab there are two panes: the upper pane is the Filter pane, and the lower pane is the Data pane. In an upcoming lesson, you will use the cube browser to do analysis.
