Best Practice - Device membership dimensions


i have table of agents, agent groups , agent group members.  agent can in many agent groups.  agent group members table links agent , agent group together.

what best practice creating dimension , user defined hierarchy support this. 

as user of cube may want browse data agent , may want browse agent group (seeing 1 line each agent)

is there best practice this? 

i think agent browsing use agent dimension. 

i agent group broseing use agent group dimension.  means have expand agent group dimension include agent , agentgroupmembers tables.  attribute relationships.  understand how country, state, city.  agent group hierarchy have have agent group key, agent key , agentgroupmembers key?

 

hi,

1) can create single table contains agents & groups , create hierarchy agents groups -> agents. or if want keep both dimension tables separate can create hierarchy using both tables. check "product" dimension adventureworks sample same.you can download sample database codeplex;

2) if each agent belongs multiple agent groups can create many-to-many dimension.refer following whitepaper;
