The dimension names and number / code masks are non-editable and defined in the License.  See the App and License data tabsheet.

 

You find the editable properties for Dimension types in Settings / Dimension types here:

 

SetDimType

 

Doubleclick the desired dimension to open its editing form:

 

These are the only two editable properties in Dimension types:

 

EditDimType

 

Name in title

Here you may decide if you want this dimension's names in addition to its code / number to be displayed in Report Headings.   Displaying the name is informative but it also takes up space in the title, so it is up to you if you want it included or not.  See examples below.

 

"Name in title" unchecked:

DimNameInTitleFalse

 

"Name in title" checked:

DimNameInTitle

 

However, the above settings may be overridden by this checkbox from the Report selection page:

PrintDimNames

 

Mandatory

If you check this box then the accountant MUST choose a dimension account when registering vouchers. In that case the transaction's dimension data field cannot be empty.

 

This is the preferred and default setting! If you leave it empty then transactions with unspecified dimensions may 'fall between two chairs' and their balances will NOT be included unless you always print result reports for ALL dimensions.
