Data Dictionary

What is data dictionary?

The data dictionary is a collection of information used to describe some customised data in the system. This collection lists all possible predefined data, and through simple descriptions, additional values, etc. to be mainly used for some customised drop-down options that provide data support.

Why is data dictionary important?

Different from traditional human resources management systems (software licence purchase) and most SaaS that do not open user-defined options, HR SaaS that include a data dictionary can satisfy HR or employers’ actual conditions at almost zero cost. Business scenarios having new requirements that are not provided in the system can be added now, so as to help them centralise P-file management more efficiently.
