Naming Dictionaries

After a naming dictionary is configured, when a table name is generated during data modeling, the corresponding table code can be automatically matched based on the dictionary. This prevents a table name from having multiple table codes and standardizes table codes.

Notes and Constraints

A workspace can store a maximum of 10,000 naming entries.
A maximum of 20 entries can be translated at a time.
To create, edit, or delete naming entries, you must have the administrator permissions or the permissions of a custom role defined in the configuration center.

On the DataArts Architecture console, choose Dictionary in the navigation pane.
