Updating extension source fields

After you run the extraction workflow, the newly-added fields are displayed in the extension sources. Use these instructions to modify the fields.

Note: Birst automatically assigns the field size and type based on the extracted data. Review the application's definition of the field width and data type and assign those exact values in Birst.
  1. In Birst, select the [Tenant]-ISM-Dimension-Extension space.
  2. Select Modeler > Prepare.
  3. Under Sources, select the source to modify. For example, ism_fs_contract_mst_extension.
  4. In Column Properties, verify the column type and width for the field(s).
  5. Select the Lock Type to prevent changes to the attributes.
    Note: Do not change the Hierarchy setting. Also, leave these Relate fields blank:
    • Level
    • Measure
    • Analyze Measure
    • Analyze By Date
    • Format
    • Options
