Hi,
Navigational attributes bear the same meaning as in BW. They can be used for navigation- drill up and drill down in the planning book. There is a very little difference in usage.
They also appear in the CVCs, they are just like a regular characteristic. You can select the N.Attribute in your selection profiles, you can use them for forecasting as well.
But the problem is , when you specify as a navigational attribute, additional tables are created and they have to be accessed from there instead of database like the regular key figures. So it hampers the performance.
It is a good idea to define the characteristics that you think would be using in planning, macros, forecasting model selections, selection profiles etc. and have the characteristics by which you want to drill up/down the data in the planning book.
This saves a lot of performance.
