![The Dimension Profiling function](https://4128708524-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FGDmsjfjJBNqow7Fo97cO%2Fuploads%2FFoI65j3nFkxVultm5OZ6%2FDimensioProfiling.gif?alt=media\&token=4464dc83-7f02-4205-bd86-8961dbbbd937)

This has been introduced to provide users with some more insights into a dimension.

* Select the ***Information*** icon from the list of displayed Dimensions on the ***Design*** page.
* A new window opens with the Data Profile information displaying the count of the selected dimension value.
* Click the ***MOVE TO DESIGN*** option.

* The data profile chart gets moved to the design workspace.
* The user can apply the various modification options to the view from the ***Design*** page (E.g., The below-given image displays the modified view after applying for the descending order and limiting the display to 5 records. It also displays legend).
* Click the ***Save*** option from the ***Design Workspace***.
