Create Custom Properties
Explain how to create custom properties, which provide a flexible way to associate additional information to custom dimensions.
Custom property values are defined for each dimension value and can only contain numeric characters. Custom properties cannot have the same name as existing dimensions and attributes. For example, if you have a dimension called Region, you cannot also have a custom property called Region.
In Sales Planning, custom properties for latitude and longitude are required to create a geo map for territory planning.
