# Interface "IDimensionPerspective"

> Interface "IDimensionPerspective" in Base Application (Microsoft.Finance.FinancialReports). 9 public procedures. Introduced in BC28, still in BC30.

Base Application · Microsoft.Finance.FinancialReports · BC28-30 · [source at ea08af5e](https://github.com/microsoft/BCApps/blob/ea08af5ef2d6a9b5c5af4a029288abbe2c883220/src/Layers/W1/BaseApp/Finance/FinancialReports/IDimensionPerspective.Interface.al) · facts from BC29

## Procedures

- `PopulateLineBufferForReporting(DimPerspectiveName: Record "Dimension Perspective Name"; var TempDimPerspectiveLine: Record "Dimension Perspective Line")`
- `FilterGLEntryByPerspectiveTotaling(DimPerspectiveLine: Record "Dimension Perspective Line"; var GLEntry: Record "G/L Entry")`: Filter the G/L entry record by the dimension perspective line's totaling fields.
- `FilterGLBudgetEntryByPerspectiveTotaling(DimPerspectiveLine: Record "Dimension Perspective Line"; var GLBudgetEntry: Record "G/L Budget Entry")`: Filter the G/L budget entry record by the dimension perspective line's totaling fields.
- `FilterCFEntryByPerspectiveTotaling(DimPerspectiveLine: Record "Dimension Perspective Line"; var CFForecastEntry: Record "Cash Flow Forecast Entry")`: Filter the cash flow forecast entry record by the dimension perspective line's totaling fields.
- `FilterAnalysisViewEntryByPerspectiveTotaling(DimPerspectiveLine: Record "Dimension Perspective Line"; var AnalysisViewEntry: Record "Analysis View Entry")`: Filter the analysis view entry record by the dimension perspective line's totaling fields.
- `FilterAnalysisViewBudgetEntryByPerspectiveTotaling(DimPerspectiveLine: Record "Dimension Perspective Line"; var AnalysisViewBudgetEntry: Record "Analysis View Budget Entry")`: Filter the analysis view budget entry record by the dimension perspective line's totaling fields.
- `PerspectiveTypeToText(DimPerspectiveName: Record "Dimension Perspective Name"; Type: Enum "Dimension Perspective Type"; var Text: Text): Boolean`: Convert the perspective type value to text. This is displayed on the dimension perspective page.
- `TextToPerspectiveType(DimPerspectiveName: Record "Dimension Perspective Name"; Text: Text; var Type: Enum "Dimension Perspective Type"): Boolean`: Convert the text value to a perspective type. This is used when validating user input on the dimension perspective page.
- `InsertBufferForPerspectiveTotalingLookup(DimPerspectiveName: Record "Dimension Perspective Name"; Type: Enum "Dimension Perspective Type"; var DimSelection: Page "Dimension Selection")`: Populate the dimension selection buffer for looking up perspective totaling values. Values are dynamically generated based on the source data, such as shortcut dimensions.

## Across versions

- Present in: BC28-30
- Changed (declaration) in: none

Source: AL metadata extracted from the code (names, ids, signatures, properties); no code bodies (D10).

## Ask your agent

Procedure bodies are not stored here (D10). The call sections above are our own, per object, from the BC29 call graph. For a procedure body or the calls of one procedure, ask bc-code-atlas (external, by Stefan Maron, MIT; default corpus w1-28), which the bc-observatory plugin connects: `bcatlas_resolve_node(object_type: "interface", object_name: "IDimensionPerspective")`, then `bcatlas_get_procedure_body` or `bcatlas_get_neighbors` on the returned id.
