What Are Hierarchies in TM1?

In IBM Planning Analytics (TM1), a single dimension can contain multiple hierarchies — alternative structures for viewing or rolling up the same set of elements. For example, the Region dimension might have:

• A Default hierarchy (geographic regions)

• A Currency hierarchy (currency-based groupings)

Slice fully supports hierarchies across all report types.
