Table definitions

A table definition is a set of related columns definitions that are stored in the Repository.

These can be loaded into stages as and when required.

You can import a table definition from a data source via the Designer. You can also edit and define new table definitions in the Designer (see Defining your data). If you want, you can edit individual column definitions once you have loaded them into your stage.

You can also simply type in your own column definition from scratch on the Outputs or Input page Column tab of your stage editor. When you have entered a set of column definitions you can save them as a new table definition in the Repository for subsequent reuse in another job.
