Idera ER-Studio: How to use "User Defined Properties" on Columns and Tables?

63 Views Asked by At

How to define "User Defined Properties" that can show up on the Metadata Export, in Idera ER-Studio? We are trying to include properties such as Business-Key identifier, SCD identifiers and a few other similar stuff. While exporting Model Metadata it gives options of displaying these UDPs, but nowhere in the tool can I find how to set those up.

Just as a background, we are setting up a new data-warehouse which will be loaded using a metadata framework. Our idea is to maintain the data model architecture in ER-Studio along with these sorts of custom tags and load them directly on to the MDF.

One potential place I could see was "Extended Properties" on both column and table level where I can define custom property names and their values, but they don't show up on the UDP section of the metadata-export. Moreover, neither do they seem to reflect in the macros, nor can they be set or updated using macros.

ER-Studio's help guide doesn't contain any info on UDPs. There aren't any prior discussions on the internet on this topic either.
