New Master Entity

A new master entity is usually added because mastering is required. To add a master entity, an existing related instance entity on the Instance Layer with enabled matching is required. It is also possible to add a (virtual) instance entity to access data from the Instance Layer.

You can create a master entity on the Master Layer, as shown in Creating a Master Data Layer Model, and then complete the related Transformations (the merging plan).
