The Data Dictionary Report provides information about all available data tables, columns, fields, and indexes in the Budgeting & Planning database.
You can view the Data Dictionary from within the application and use it to identify specific fields. You can also use it to determine how certain fields are calculated when creating your own reports through Cognos or similar report-writing application.
To open the Data Dictionary, complete the following steps:
From the Reports & Actions menu, click Data Dictionary (M.A.R.1).
Select the item you want to display from the drop-down list.
Use the toolbar at the top of the screen to navigate through the Data Dictionary, to save, to print, or to export the report into Excel or PDF file formats.
