• Key Concepts: 
  Materialize is a term used in SAP BusinessObjects Information Design Tool (IDT) to describe the process of creating a physical table from a logical table. This process is also known as “materializing” or “materialization”. The physical table is then used to store data from the logical table. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to materialize a logical table, you must first create the logical table in IDT. Once the logical table is created, you can then materialize it by selecting the “Materialize” option from the menu. This will create a physical table that can be used to store data from the logical table. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When materializing a logical table, it is important to ensure that all of the columns in the physical table match those in the logical table. This will ensure that all of the data is stored correctly and can be accessed easily. Additionally, it is important to note that materializing a logical table can take some time, so it is best to plan ahead and make sure that you have enough time to complete the process.
