## 4.1.2  The Property View on the Analysis tab
In the Property view on the Analysis tab, you can define properties for the data source, measures and dimensions in the workbook. You can show or hide this section by choosing Display Show Property View in the design panel group.
The properties can also be changed using the ribbon. If you change a property on the Analysis tab, the changes are also reflected in the ribbon.
The available properties depend on the selected data source element. At the top of the Properties section, you will always find the description and technical name of the selected data source element. You can select the data source, measures, a single measures, dimensions, members and hierarchies.
For single measures, dimensions and attributes, you can enter a new description and thereby rename the selected data source element. The new description is directly available in the Analysis UI: in the design panel, in the crosstab and in the dialogs, for example the Filter dialog. You can also save new descriptions with a view in Analysis. Depending on the platform you use, this could be a query view, an Analysis view or a HANA view.
For hierarchies, only the properties of the assigned hierarchy can be changed.
