Extending Tables
This section describes the configuration options around extending the claim transaction tables and external claims data with field and / or record definitions.
Dynamic fields and records that extend a claim transaction table or external claims data behave slightly different from their counterparts that extend claims, configuration and reference data. These fields are meant to keep a true copy of whatever information they store. For this reason there are no validations. Dynamic fields and records usages on claim transaction tables or external claims data
-

-
Can not be set up as mandatory
-
Can not be set up as conditional
-
Can not refer to a flex code definition
-

Adding Dynamic Fields and Records
To add a dynamic field to a repository or external data entity, the dynamic field must be defined and then a dynamic field usage must be created to associate the dynamic field definition with the entity. A dynamic field definition may be added to more than one repository or external data entity.
