Enhance process data

You can add more data to enhance your current analysis model. To enhance the analysis model, you must first add one or more data tables that contain appropriate data. You can use specific columns within each table to link the tables together. These columns are called foreign keys.

A data set can only contain one activity table, but several enhancement tables. You can link a table to one or more other tables, but there can only ever be one link between two tables.

The data for the enhancement table must be stored in an appropriate CSV file. An enhancement table must contain at least two columns and one of these columns can be used as foreign key.
