> Table 8363 "Dimension Perspective Name" in Base Application (Microsoft.Finance.FinancialReports). 5 fields, 3 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/DimensionPerspectiveName.Table.al) · facts from BC29

Learn documents this table through its pages: [Page 8364 "Dimension Perspectives"](../page/8364.md) (1 Learn page).

## Properties

| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Caption | Dimension Perspective Name |
| DataClassification | CustomerContent |
| LookupPageId | Dimension Perspectives |

## Fields

Explanation: the field's ToolTip in the code; without one, the ToolTip of a page control bound to the field (marked via the page); without that, its Caption (marked caption) when that differs from the name.

| No. | Name | Type | Explanation | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Name | Code[10] | — | NotBlank |
| 2 | Description | Text[100] | Specifies the description of the dimension perspective. The description is not shown on the final report but is used to provide more context when using the definition. |  |
| 3 | Internal Description | Text[250] | Specifies the internal description of the dimension perspective. The internal description is not shown on the final report but is used to provide more context when using the definition. |  |
| 4 | Perspective Type | Enum "Dimension Perspective Type" | Specifies how the financial report dimension perspectives will be totaled by. If you select Custom, then you can set up a combination of fields to total by on a dimension-by-dimension basis. Otherwise, perspectives are automatically created and totaled by each dimension value or business unit. | enum [Enum 8363 "Dimension Perspective Type"](../enum/8363.md) |
| 5 | Analysis View Name | Code[10] | Specifies the name of the analysis view you want the dimension perspective to use. This field is optional. | TableRelation [Table 363 "Analysis View"](../table/363.md) (Analysis View) |

## Keys

## 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 27 "Confirm Management"](../codeunit/27.md) (1 call: `ValidateAnalysisViewName → GetResponseOrDefault`)

## 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: "table", object_name: "Dimension Perspective Name")`, then `bcatlas_get_procedure_body` or `bcatlas_get_neighbors` on the returned id.
