Creating a cross-referencing table

From Talend MDM Web UI, you can create one or multiple tables to cross reference master data.

Before you begin

The MDM server is already launched. You have been assigned a role with Read & Write access to the appropriate data container, data model and the cross referencing menu.
Information noteNote:

Make sure that you have selected:

  • the data container that holds the master data for which you want to create a cross-referencing table,
  • the data model against which the master data will be validated.

Procedure

  1. On the Menu panel, click on Govern - Cross Referencing to open a new page.
