## Properties

| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Caption | Change Global Dimensions |
| SourceTable | Change Global Dim. Header |

## Fields on this page

Layout controls in source order, grouped by the container they sit in. Shows: the table field a control is bound to (or its expression as written); ToolTip: the control's own, else the bound field's (marked).

| Group | Control | Shows | ToolTip |
|---|---|---|---|
| Options | Global Dimension 1 Code | [Global Dimension 1 Code](../table/484.md#fields) | Specifies another global dimension that you want to use. The second field on the row will show the current global dimension. <small>from the table field</small> |
|  | Global Dimension 2 Code | [Global Dimension 2 Code](../table/484.md#fields) | Specifies another global dimension that you want to use. The second field on the row will show the current global dimension. <small>from the table field</small> |
|  | Parallel Processing | [Parallel Processing](../table/484.md#fields) | Specifies if the change will be processed by parallel background jobs. <small>from the table field</small> |
|  | Old Global Dimension 1 Code | [Old Global Dimension 1 Code](../table/484.md#fields) | Specifies the dimension that is currently defined as Global Dimension 1. <small>from the table field</small> |
|  | Old Global Dimension 2 Code | [Old Global Dimension 2 Code](../table/484.md#fields) | Specifies the dimension that is currently defined as Global Dimension 2. <small>from the table field</small> |

## Actions

| Group | Action | ToolTip | Runs |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sequential | Start | Start the process that implements the specified dimension change(s) in the affected tables within the current session. Other users cannot change the affected tables while the process is running. |  |
| Parallel | Prepare | Fill the Log Entries FastTab with the list of tables that will be affected by the specified dimension change. Here you can also follow the progress of the background job that performs the change. Note: Before you can start the job, you must sign out and in to ensure that the current user cannot modi... |  |
|  | Reset | Cancel the change. |  |
|  | Start | Start a background job that implements the specified dimension change(s) in the affected tables. Other users cannot change the affected global dimensions while the job is running. Note: Before you can start the job, you must choose the Prepare action, and then sign out and in. |  |

## Procedures

2 local procedures, no public ones.

## Triggers

OnAfterGetCurrRecord, OnClosePage, OnOpenPage

## Relations

- source table [Table 484 "Change Global Dim. Header"](../table/484.md)

## Calls

From the extracted call graph of BC29 (graphify-al on the snapshot checkout): calls whose target is known from a declared type or an `Object::"Name"` argument. Interface dispatch and calls through events are not counted, so the list is not complete.

- [Codeunit 483 "Change Global Dimensions"](../codeunit/483.md) (6 calls: `OnAfterGetCurrRecord → FillBuffer`, `OnAfterGetCurrRecord → IsDimCodeEnabled`, `OnAfterGetCurrRecord → IsPrepareEnabled`, …)

## Across versions

- Present in: BC23-30
- Changed (declaration) in: none

## Documented on Microsoft Learn

- [Work with dimensions to track and analyze data](https://learn.microsoft.com/dynamics365/business-central/finance-dimensions)

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: "page", object_name: "Change Global Dimensions")`, then `bcatlas_get_procedure_body` or `bcatlas_get_neighbors` on the returned id.
