• Key Concepts: 
  A join path is a feature of SAP's Information Design Tool (IDT) that allows users to join two or more tables together in order to create a single view of data. This feature is used to combine data from multiple sources into one report or analysis. It is also used to create relationships between tables, such as parent-child relationships.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the join path feature, users must first select the tables they wish to join. Then, they must select the columns from each table that will be used for the join. Finally, they must specify the type of join (inner, outer, left, right) and any additional conditions that should be applied. Once the join path has been created, users can then use it to create reports and analyses.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a join path, it is important to ensure that the columns being joined have compatible data types. If the data types are not compatible, then the join will not work correctly. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all of the conditions specified in the join path are valid and accurate.
