Analytics
A new Global Reference table (nitro_reference_gbl_ods__v) allows translations from codes to values in appropriate languages. Global reference table is used to map and translate key values from any table to the appropriate language necessary for global reporting. You must map both referencecode__v and referencetype__v to attain the appropriate value. Each code can be used for more than one type. Users can select the language on a record to display in global reports by matching other global tables to the following fields:
- referencecode__v
- referencetype__v
Global Tables Naming Convention Standardization
All global table columns are standardized with a consistent naming convention:
- composite_key__v - The primary key used to identify unique records in global tables. At a minimum, these consist of source connector name and native id.
- native_id__v - The natural key used for unique records in the source tables.
- For CRM records - crm_object_id__v
- For Network records - vid__v
- source_connector_name__v - The name of the connector the record is sourced from.
- source_table_name__v - The table name in the source connector the record is sourced from. If multiple tables are used to source data, it is the name of the main table used in the join.
- system_id__v - The value provided when creating a connector. This is a required field for CRM, Vault, and Network. This value can be blank for FTP type connectors.
Global Cross Reference Table Renamed
The Global Cross Reference table is renamed master_data_xref_gbl_ods__v, to more accurately reflects the data used as part of the cross reference.
