A dimension represents a category in a data set and is used for grouping KPIs.

The dimension object type has one or more sub-objects, consisting of properties that map it to a KDR field. You can map a dimension to different fields based on the expected value in the KDR field type. In the example below, the dimension Region is mapped to the field region_name for the types record_a and record_b.
