You have configured the selected source table as activity table for the current data set.

The activity table is marked as such to make it easier to identify.

Additionally, the table is labeled as Fact table. A Fact table multiplies the data per case. This means that several entities are assigned to one case, for example, here one case has several activities.

You can now load the data into the process storage or you can enhance the data with enhancement tables.

If you changed the data model configuration, you must refresh the data model and reload the data to the process storage.
