First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving a request of a first user to create a custom dimension tree;
displaying a list of available dimensions;
receiving user selection of available dimensions from the list;
allowing the first user to create virtual dimensions;
mapping elements of the available dimensions to the virtual dimensions; and
creating the custom dimension tree using the mapping, the custom dimension tree representing relationships between the virtual dimensions.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for creating custom dimension trees. The method may include receiving a user request to create a custom dimension tree, displaying a list of available dimensions, and receiving user selection of available dimensions from the list. The method may further include allowing the user to create virtual dimensions, mapping elements of the available dimensions to the virtual dimensions, and creating the custom dimension tree using the mapping. The custom dimension tree represents relationships between the virtual dimensions.

11. A system comprising:
-
a custom tree builder to receive a request of a first user to create a custom dimension tree, to display a list of available dimensions, to receive user selection of available dimensions from the list, to allow the first user to create virtual dimensions, and to map elements of the available dimensions to the virtual dimensions; and a custom tree database, coupled to the custom tree builder, to store the custom dimension tree with mappings between the elements and the virtual dimensions, the custom dimension tree representing relationships between the virtual dimensions. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
