Provider data dictionaries and the Gateway data dictionary can be customized to include new objects and new fields in real-time and on-demand. Depending on the provider and the data dictionary you can perform the following tasks:
- Add objects and fields to data dictionaries
- Edit objects and fields in data dictionaries
- Copy objects in data dictionaries.
- Delete objects and fields from data dictionaries
The Gateway, Unifier, and File data dictionaries support all of the above features. Also refer to the Features of Provider Data Dictionaries
Advantages
This feature provides great flexibility to customize the Gateway data dictionary and all provider data dictionaries to create and support additional objects and fields directly through the user interface. These objects can then be used in field-mapping templates, business flows, and synchronizations.
