= Generic Dimensionality= Generic dimension is one of Online Analytical Processing (OLAP).

Creating generic dimensions:
Create a generic version when you are not sure of the precise dimension type.


 * About this task:

When dimensions are used in a cube, the cube is sequenced according to the dimension type, therefore it is a good policy not to have many generic type dimensions. A generic dimension has the following attributes:
 * 1) Name, the member name.
 * 2) Format, user defined: number, date/time and text formats.
 * 3) Pick List, a link to a predefined dimension or subset.
 * 4) N Calculation, a simple calculation performed at the leaf level.
 * 5) C Calculation, a calculation performed on aggregated results.
 * 6) Weight, a factor applied usually of minus 1 to change a positive value to a negative value.

In the Model Design pane, right-click the Dimensions folder and click the New icon New icon. Click the Dimension icon Dimension icon. Type the name of the new dimension and select Generic from the Dimension type list. Add the members of the dimension to the Name attribute either by typing the list or doing a copy/paste action. For example FY 2004 Budget, FY 2005 Budget, FY 2004 Forecast, FY 2005 Baseline. Save the dimension.
 * Procedure:

The generic dimension type should be changed to the required type before use in a cube.
 * What to do next:

The main objectives of this study are to identify the generic facets of hospitality for hotel services irrespective of their star rating, as well as to determine the impact of generic dimensionality on guest satisfaction. The responses of 305 local and foreign hotel guests in a questionnaire survey were analysed using a Structural Equation Modelling technique. The generic facets of hotel hospitality were identified as personalisation, comfort, and warm welcoming. Of the three, only personalisation and warm welcoming contributed significantly to predicting guest satisfaction. This study is aimed at adding to the body of related literature by sharing new insights on how the generic dimensionality of hospitality in its entirety differs from that of upscale hotel hospitality.
