• Key Concepts: 
  Standard tables are a type of table used in SAP BusinessObjects Information Design Tool (IDT). They are used to store data from multiple sources in a single table. Standard tables are created by combining multiple tables from different sources into one table. This allows for easier access to data and more efficient reporting. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Standard tables can be created in IDT by selecting the “Create Standard Table” option from the menu. This will open a window where you can select the source tables that you want to combine into one standard table. Once the source tables have been selected, you can then specify the columns that you want to include in the standard table. Once the standard table has been created, it can be used in reports and dashboards just like any other table. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a standard table, it is important to make sure that all of the source tables have compatible data types. If there are incompatible data types, then the standard table will not be able to be created. Additionally, it is important to make sure that all of the columns in the source tables have unique names, as this will help ensure that the columns in the standard table are correctly identified.
