How dimensions work
A dimension is a property of an object that the agent can use to slice data. When someone asks “revenue by region,” the agent uses the Region dimension to group results.| Object | Dimension | Source column | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Customer | Region | accounts.region | Geographic area |
| Customer | Tier | accounts.tier | Gold, Silver, Bronze |
| Order | Status | orders.status | Pending, Complete, Cancelled |
| Order | Date | orders.created_at | When the order was placed |
Dimensions vs. metrics
Dimensions describe what you’re looking at. Metrics measure how much or how many. You group by dimensions and aggregate metrics.- “Revenue by region” → Region is the dimension, Revenue is the metric
- “Customer count by tier” → Tier is the dimension, Count is the metric
