# Slowly Changing Dimension Columns (Slowly Changing Dimension Wizard)

[!INCLUDE[ssis-appliesto](../../../includes/ssis-appliesto-ssvrpluslinux-asdb-asdw-xxx.md)]


  Use the **Slowly Changing Dimensions Columns** dialog box to select a change type for each slowly changing dimension column.  
  
 To learn more about this wizard, see [Slowly Changing Dimension Transformation](../../../integration-services/data-flow/transformations/slowly-changing-dimension-transformation.md).  
  
## Options  
 **Dimension Columns**  
 Select a dimension column from the list.  
  
 **Change Type**  
 Select a **Fixed Attribute**, or select one of the two types of changing attributes. Use **Fixed Attribute** when the value in a column should not change; [!INCLUDE[ssISnoversion](../../../includes/ssisnoversion-md.md)] then treats changes as errors. Use **Changing Attribute** to overwrite existing values with changed values. Use **Historical Attribute** to save changed values in new records, while marking previous records as outdated.  
  
 **Remove**  
 Select a dimension column, and remove it from the list of mapped columns by clicking **Remove**.
