Meta Table

Metamation allows internal data stores (tables) to be defined which can hold general information. Information held within these tables can be used by the Data repository for a number of uses including:

• Producing metrics for status displays on the Home or Nodal Display screens
• Can be used to hold documents against data (such as documents or scanned images against customers, suppliers, invoices, patients etc)
• Can be used for quick look-up of information (such as company information, mobile phone numbers, customers, car details etc)
• Can be used to consolidate useful information held on stand- alone spreadsheets, access databases and other data sources.

Metamation data tables can be free-standing where information is held and entered directly into Metamation, or information can be pulled or pushed from other databases including 3rd party applications, external databases, internet/extranet database sources (such as stock prices, or supplier databases), or other such data sources.

Data tables are listed within the home or Nodal Display pages under the My Data section of the display. Within this My Data display, existing tables can be modified by selecting the table number on the list, or the NEW button can be used to define new data tables.
