View Custom Reference Data Tables

Custom Reference Data Tables section lists the custom reference data (CRD) tables in an alphabetic order along with its description.

You can select a CRD table from the displayed list and view its data. The search filter is added to support full and partial string match.

You can also search values based on Regex filter criteria. If you enter any Regex/Wildcard, based on the input the vDRA searches the entry. In the Custom Reference Data Tables view, open a CRD table and in the search box you can enter Regex/Wildcard expression to view the displayed results according to the expression. For example, if the input value is "ndc2c*" then the search results displayed are ndc2c.gx.xom,ndc2c.gxx.com and so on.

A key icon is displayed before the column name of the selected CRD tables. This provides the following information:

  • Indicates whether the column in the selected CRD table is a key column or non-key column.

  • Indicates the type of Runtime Binding and its value in a tooltip when you hover over it.

The following operations can be performed:

  • Add a record to the table

  • Edit a record of the table

  • Delete a record of the table

The results are paginated for easy access and scrollbars can be used when there are more number of columns.


Note

The edit, delete and add options are disabled for CRD tables with Svn Crd Data flag enabled.
