Internal Dictionary

Importing the internal dictionary lets you bring in detailed descriptions of Sage X3 tables and fields. This makes it easier to work in the Data Model Designer and helps ensure field names and metadata are clear and accurate throughout your reports and analytics.

Keeping the dictionary up to date improves usability, reduces confusion, and ensures your documentation is consistent with your ERP system.

Benefits of importing the internal dictionary​

  • Improving usability: Make field names and table descriptions easily understood throughout the analytics environment.
  • Ensuring consistent metadata: Keep your reports, data models, and documentation aligned with the true structure of your ERP database.
