Using Text to Create Fields

Within data load or dimension build rules files, you can insert columns and fill all fields of the newly created columns with text. For example, if one column contains fields such as 100 and another column contains fields such as 10-1, you can insert a column that contains fields such as 100-10-1.

  1. Open or create the rules file.

  2. Select the field to put the new field in front of.

  3. Select Field, then Create using text.

  4. In the Create Field Using Text dialog box, in Text in field, enter a text string.

  5. Click OK.

    The new field is displayed to the left of the selected field.
