You can create a dictionary based on value mappings of a crosswalk. The dictionary that you create in Reference 360 appears in Data Quality in the read-only mode. You can edit the dictionary only in Reference 360.
Ensure that the crosswalks that you use to create dictionaries contain less than 10,000 value mappings.
