This User Manual differs from the Olation Quick Start manual, which walks users through building a Cube step-by-step — first using only relational-table–based Dimensions, and then using a customized or multidimensional Dimension.
While some topics overlap, this manual provides a more in-depth look at the exact steps and screens you’ll encounter when creating or modifying cubes.
For the best learning experience, start by reading the next sections to understand Olation’s concepts and benefits. Then, work through the Quick Start guide for hands-on practice. After that, return to this manual, beginning with Getting Familiar with the Work Area, to explore the details more confidently.
The sections mentioned above are important for users to review before moving on to the Quick Start guide or the rest of this manual.
