Creating Reference Tables from Profile Columns Overview
Creating Reference Tables from Profile Columns Overview
A reference table contains reference data that you can use to standardize source data. Reference data can include valid and standard values. Create reference tables to establish relationships between source data values and the valid and standard values.
You can create a reference table from the results of a profile. After you create a reference table, you can edit the reference table to add columns or rows and add or edit standard and valid values. You can view the changes made to a reference table in an audit trail.
