Right-click within the Dimensions area to display the context menu allowing you to add a new dimension, edit or drop dimensions.

 

Dimension management tools are also available through the Navigation bar of Table Editor.

 

The Dimension Editor dialog allows you to select a field or a group of fields that will be treated as one dimension.

 

To select a field, you need to move it from the Available Fields list to the Selected Fields list. Use the Move all to Selected Move to Selected Move to Available Move all to Available buttons or drag-and-drop operations to move the fields from one list to another.
