Create Multi-form Attribute Dialog

When you import data, each column in a table imports as a separate attribute. If your data contains different attribute forms of the same attribute saved in separate columns, you can create a multi-form attribute to combine the forms into a single attribute.

For example, the LU_CALL_CENTER TABLE contains two columns, Call Ctr ID and Call Center Name, which will be imported as two attributes. You can create a single Call Center attribute that uses the columns as attribute forms.

You have already begun importing data. The Preview dialog appears after you select a data source to import from, select the data to import, and click Prepare Data.

Note: You cannot create multi-form attributes on data imported from a search.

4. Select the correct Form Category, such as ID or Description, from the drop-down.
