Understanding the reporting data model: Dimensions

Note:  Data model 2.0.0 exposes information about linking assets across sites. All previous information is still available, and in the same format. As of data model 2.0.0, there is a sites column in the dim_asset dimension that lists the sites to which an asset belongs.
