The geography dimension reflects a hierarchical location on Earth. A geography dimension may define an area as large as a world region or as small as a grid location on a building floor, or a stock location.

You need to define three levels of geography dimension:

• Area (parent of country)

• Country (parent of region)

• Region

1. You first need to define your areas, countries, and regions for the geography dimension.

   See: Defining areas, countries, and regions

2. Once you have defined your areas, countries, and regions, you need to assign the regions to countries, and the countries to areas.

   See: Assigning areas, countries, and regions

3. Create a Region segment on the Location Descriptive Flexfield.

   See: Setting up a Region segment

4. Enter a region in the Region segment.

   See: Assigning a Region to a location

5. Map the region flexfield segment to the geography dimension.

   See: Mapping the Region flexfield segment to the geography dimension

6. Finally, populate the geography dimension with values.
