Data dictionary

Hi fellow Verint Community peeps!

We are working with our global reporting team on creating some new dashboards and scorecards for our community and they have asked us for a data dictionary to tell them a little bit more about the tables and fields that we are pulling from the APIs. Having one will help to speed up development time for them. Does anyone know if such a data dictionary exists and how would we locate that? If one does not exist, does anyone have any other suggestions?

Much thanks,

Derek

  • We do not publishany schema related information as accessing the database schema directly is not a supported operation.  All data should be extracted from APIs

  • Hi Patrick,

    Thanks for the info.

    I will preface my reply by saying that I am not a technical resource for this project but more the business owner trying to facilitate the request on behalf of another team.  I believe that the data has been extracted from APIs into our central internal database.  The team that is now assembling our scorecards and dashboard on PowerBI from this data have requested a data dictionary for all the data they are looking at.  I recall one of the examples being a field being pulled in called Group ID - it has values with numbers.  What do the numbers signify?  What is the range of allowed values?  What is the definition for this field? etc.  Does documentation exist around this?  Trying to explain the ask here in more detail in case I am not using the correct terms.

    Thanks,

    Derek
