The following are the general steps:
- ensure the Dimension Map is open
- drag and drop the date column from your data source and place it underneath the newly created fiscal year alternate drill down
- then open up the property sheet and you can name it "fiscal quarter"
- click on the Time tab and select "Calendar quarter" as the date function

(see page 59 in the "Step-by-step Transformer" document)
