Instructions

There are two ways to create a table in Master Data Management:

  • By importing a table

  • By manually adding a table

Import a Table

Importing a table in CSV format is a quick and efficient way to create a table with large datasets while ensuring that data types like numbers, dates, and text are accurately preserved.

Go to Settings.

Click Master Data Management.

Click Add Table.

Select Import Table.

Drag and drop or browse a file.

The table name will be auto-populated based on the file name but can be edited as needed. Click Create to proceed with the table creation.

Once the table is successfully imported, the columns and records will appear.

Manually Create a Table

Another way to add a table is to manually create it in the platform.

Go to Settings.

Click Master Data Management.

Click Add Table.

Select Create new table.

Enter a table name. Ensure it does not exceed 255 characters. To proceed, click Create.

The master table will be created and you can start adding columns and records.
