Create a Time Dimension with Time Attributes

You can use Mosaic Studio to create time dimensions using time attributes. Time attributes include fixed time intervals that allow you to easily create complete time hierarchies without creating separate attributes for each dimension. Mosaic Studio allows you to automatically construct robust and flexible time dimensions within your Mosaic model, significantly enhancing temporal analysis capabilities.

Time attributes created in Mosaic Studio are added to a new section called Time Enrichment Attributes in the Objects panel, grouped by their Base Attribute.

This functionality requires that the Data Engine version be 2021 or above.

Create Time Attributes from the Suggestion Panel

  1. In the Suggestions panel, a Create Time Attributes option displays that includes all attributes with TimeStamp and Date datatypes.

  2. Click the suggestion to display the available time attributes.

    The 15-minute interval is required if any time attributes are created for the attribute.

  3. Select the checkboxes next to the time intervals you want to include and click Accept.
