  • Database Name: This must be unique and will always have the "sk_" prefix. It defines the column name in the database and how it is accessed in views.
  • Data Type: Specifies the type of data to be stored.
  • Target Join Key: The name of the join key used to relate data providers and utilize this column. A join key with the same name must be implemented in the data provider for the column to be automatically available.

Using a Shared Column in a Data Provider

To utilize an existing shared column within a data provider, you must implement a join key with the identical name within that data provider.
