Creating a Reference Table from Value Patterns

Creating a Reference Table from Value Patterns

You can create a reference table from the column patterns in a profile column. The patterns represent the composition of the data values in one or more column fields. Select a column in the profile, and select the patterns to add to the reference table that you create.
  1. Open the
    Library
    workspace in the Analyst tool.
  2. Select the
    Profiles
    asset category.
    The library displays a list of the profiles in the Model repository.
  3. Open the profile that contains the value patterns to add to the reference table.
    The profile overview lists the profile column names.
  4. Select the column that defines the pattern data that you want to add to the reference table.
  5. Review the column data patterns.
    To view the column data, click the column name.
  6. In the detailed profile view, select the column patterns that you want to add.
  7. Right-click the patterns that you selected, and select
    Add to Reference Table.
    The following image shows the data patterns for a column in the detailed profile view:
    Find the column data in the Patterns panel to the left of the detailed view.
    The number 1 identifies the
    Add to Reference Table
    option in the image.
  8. The
    Add to Reference Table
    Wizard opens.
    Select the option to
    Create a reference table
    .
    You can also select an option to add the data to a current reference table.
  9. Click
    Next
    .
    The column name appears by default as the reference table name. Optionally, update the name.
  10. Optionally, enter a description and default value.
    The Analyst tool uses the default value for any table record that does not contain a value.
  11. Click
    Next
    .
  12. Verify the column properties.
    Optionally, choose to create a column for low-level descriptive metadata.
  13. Click
    Next
    .
  14. Review the reference table name and description.
    Optionally, enter an audit note.
  15. Select a Model repository location for the reference table object.
  16. Click
    Finish
    .
