- **Enhance data for advanced querying and reporting:** Join external data from Reference Tables in Sheets, DDSQL Editor, or Log Workspaces to perform complex queries, aggregations, and build custom reports without technical expertise.

## Validation rules

Reference Table names and column headers are validated using the following naming conventions and automatically updated or normalized, if necessary.
