Data table configurations are pre-defined sets of sheets with attribute mappings and retrieval methods. Retrieval methods allow you to define how the sheet or sheet column is populated with data. The standard data table configuration PDMS_CONFIG is delivered with the software; it has the Standard indicator set to Yes.
To define data table configurations, click Integration > PDMS > PDMS Configuration and click the Data Table Configurations tab.
