You can add a column to most List Views in one of several ways. The column must be the result of one the following functions that use the data displayed in other columns in the same List View:

  • Concatenation of data in other columns
  • Calculations based on data in other columns
  • Logical expressions applied to data in other columns
Note: This functionality is not available for output entities in a Quality project.

Adding an Attribute

Adding a column to an entity's Data Row List View creates a new attribute. These user-defined attributes are active and display each time you open the List View, but they are not analyzed or added to the entity. You can add an attribute for the purpose of viewing business rule results. You can edit and remove the attribute at any time.

Note: When you add a column to any List View other than Data Rows, the new column is visible only for the period in which the List View pane remains displayed. When you close the List View, you lose the column and its data. If you want to save the data, create a bookmark or export the data to a file.
