Configuring Data Display
You can configure field organization and names for mastered entity record data display.
When you create a data product, Tamr Cloud automatically maps the predefined output attributes to the mastered entity attribute names that display in Tamr Cloud and exported datasets.
In the Configure Attributes mastering step, you can customize attributes for display in Tamr Cloud and exported datasets, as follows:
- Rename the attributes.
- Add new attributes for any new output fields you added, and map output fields to these entity attributes. New attributes must be added one at a time.
- Remove attributes that you do not want to include in your mastering output.
- Add, edit, and reorder attribute groups. Attributes in the primary group are included in the entity table. View attributes in all other groups by opening a mastered entity.
Note: This step was previously named Deliver Data to Studio or Deliver to Studio.
Important:
- Do not edit or remove the attribute for
entity_ID
.- Attribute names must be unique. Additionally, ensure that the names conform to any requirements from downstream systems.
