Data Dictionary#
The Data Dictionary (CITApp-Data-Dictionary.pdf) is an alphabetized glossary of every column name and field definition used across all tables in the platform. Each entry includes a description and a list of every table where that column appears.
PDF Output#
The PDF version displays entries in a clean alphabetical list. Each entry shows the column name in bold, its description, and a “Used In” listing of every table where that column appears.#

When to Use This#
Looking up a column name — If you see a column in a table and want to know what it means, search the Data Dictionary by name.
Finding which tables use a field — The “Used In” cross-references show every table where a specific column appears, which is helpful when you need to find where certain data is displayed.
Onboarding and training — New users can browse the glossary to familiarize themselves with the platform’s terminology and data fields.
