Worksheet
Data dictionary template
A single-sheet spreadsheet template with eight columns: field name, business meaning, source system, table and column, formula, exclusions, owner and last reviewed date. Three example rows come filled in for net sales, stock on hand and overdue receivable, and a blank block below links each dashboard tile to its entry.
Name: ______________________ Business: ______________________ Date: ______________
Scroll the table sideways to see every column.
