Enhancing Cloudability's Hierarchical Business Mapping with Universal Base Dimensions

Currently, Cloudability's Hierarchical Business Mapping (HBM) feature operates under a significant constraint a base dimension cannot be reused more than once it has been assigned to an HBM structure. For example, if 'Departmental Hierarchy' uses 'Cost Center' as its base dimension, 'Cost Center' cannot then be used as the base for a separate 'Product Line Hierarchy'. This limitation forces customers into cumbersome and inefficient workarounds,
Enhance the  existing Hierarchical business mapping feature that allows a single designated base dimension to be selected as the foundation for multiple, independent HBMs

This will Enable customers to model diverse and complex business structures without limitations.
