Table Dictionary

The dictionary is used for structured presentation of elements without the ability to add or edit them. To create a dictionary, a table data set or MDM dictionary is required. Each data source record is a dictionary element that must contain definitions of all dictionary elements. The user can use various filters to limit the amount of data, which is moved to the dictionary. A table dictionary can manage contents by means of parameters, that is, it is a dynamic dictionary. It can be created in any place of the repository.
