Topic: Dimension dates: what are they meant for

It is very clear to me that I can use dimensions as costcenters or other similar things. However, it is not clear what the two dates are used for. Can anyone clarify this part.

Re: Dimension dates: what are they meant for

The first date is the creation date for the dimension. The second date is the estimated end day. This is only an informative field. If you want to close a dimension you have to do that in the dimension form.

Re: Dimension dates: what are they meant for

I guess a minor bug showed up here. When I tested to close a dimension it was still shown in the lists around FA. It shouldn't and this is fixed in CVS Main trunk, affected file /includes/ui/ui_lists.inc

Be careful when closing a dimension mistakenly. It can only be restored (opened) by accessing the database directly f.i. with phpMyAdmin.
