DataFlux Data Management Studio 2.6: User Guide

Master Data Project Dialog

The Master Data Project dialog is displayed when you double-click a master data project listed in either the Master Data Foundations folder in the Data riser or in the list of projects in the folder pane. You can use the dialog to develop the best possible record for a specific resource, such as a customer or a product, from all of the source systems that might contain a reference to that resource. For example, a company with thousands of customers would consider customer an important resource. The actual person that is represented by the customer record should be the same in all of the contexts that you encountered him or her.

In other words, the customer resource should be mastered or standardized so that the same record can be used throughout your company’s different business practices. The value that mastering a resource such as customer has to a company is that companies rely upon these resources to conduct their business. Once a data record has been mastered, it can be used as a source to all downstream consumers of the record. The mastered record represents accurate, up-to-date information that all consumers of that resource can rely on.

The Master Data Project dialog provides tools to review and refine your data. The dialog contains the following elements:
