About dimension hierarchies and cubes

You use dimension hierarchies to create dynamic data cubes, precalculated two- or three-dimensional aggregations of customer data built on a strategic segment.

Cubes are used for data exploration or visual selection, as you have the ability to drill through the data and use the resulting set of customers as a new cell in a flowchart.

For details about cubes, see the Unica Campaign User's Guide.
