Reference Data
General
Infinity Reference Data is used throughout the database to help build valid, consistent data. The Reference Data libraries need to be created and maintained in order to keep data valid and up-to-date.
IMPORTANT - take some time to consider how you will structure your reference data to relate to your organisation’s sector and industry with particular attention to any customised data you wish to search upon.
Setting up Reference Data is straight forward as each type of Reference Data has its own section. Some entries are defined as “System Value” this definition means it is a default entry, although you may be able to inactivate or edit these it may have significant impact on the reports or the dashboards.
