List the steps for creating a column for your linked record.

• A. Open the Column Editor through the Epic menu or by searching. The Master File and Item fields should be filled out with the item from the starting master file. Then describe how to reach the target using the linkage.
• B. Open the Column Editor via the Epic menu; fill Master File and Item with the item to display; use the linkage to reach the target master file.
• C. Open the Column Editor; The Master File and Item fields should be filled out with the item you are trying to display, not the item from the starting master file you are networking from; Tell the column how to reach the target master file using the linkage.
• D. Add a Setup Data Extension to the Template.

Answer: (C)

When you create a column that shows data from a linked record, you must specify exactly which item from the linked target you want to display and how to get to that target. The column needs to know the target master file and the specific item you want to pull data from, not the item you started from. That’s why the best approach is to open the Column Editor and fill the Master File and Item fields with the item you are trying to display from the linked record, and then describe the linkage path that reaches the target master file. This ensures the column resolves to the correct data in the linked record. Setting the fields to the item from the starting master file would pull in data from the source rather than the linked target, which is not what you want. The option about adding a Setup Data Extension isn’t about configuring a column for a linked record. And while one choice mentions using the item to display and the linkage, it’s important to distinguish clearly that you must point to the target item, not reuse the starting item.
