A.1 What is a Dynamic Legend?

A dynamic legend is a block of XML text that accompanies each data stream collected by a Knowledge Script. The dynamic legend describes the data stream so that Analysis Center can accurately and uniquely identify the data to process it for inclusion in the Data Warehouse.

A dynamic legend includes:

  • A static description, which appears as a member name in the second level of the Metric dimension hierarchy in the Data Warehouse.

  • A dynamic description, which appears as a member name in the third level of the Metric dimension hierarchy in the Data Warehouse.
