# Xmd Dimension Input

The extended metadata (Xmd) for a dimension in an Analytics dataset.

Properties

XmdDimensionInput inherits properties from the abstract [XmdBaseDimensionInput](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.bi_dev_guide_rest.meta/bi_dev_guide_rest/bi_requests_xmd_base_dimension_input.htm "The base Xmd dimension for dimensions and derived dimensions."). These base properties appear in XmdDimensionInput alongside the properties defined explicitly in the following table.
