  • How to Create a Logical Field via the Data Dictionary
    .

    Logical Fields are fields that do not physically exist within your databases’ tables, but rather are configured by you as a Developer. m-Power’s Data Dictionary structure allows you to define these logical fields just one time, and you are able to access them throughout any application within that Data Dictionary. There are three different Logical Fields you can create: Concatenation, Substring, and User-Defined Functions (UDF).

    This documentation will explain the step-by-step process used to create logical fields at the dictionary level.
