After you create a linkage record in Hyperspace, what is the next step before adding a column from the destination Master File to your template?

• A. Navigate to the Column Editor outside of the Template Editor and create the PAF (column) you wish to display. Add the Linkage record to the application-specific details tab of the column editor.
• B. Run the report
• C. Create a new Master File
• D. Delete the linkage

Answer: (A)

In Hyperspace, the next step is to define how the data from the linked destination Master File will be displayed by creating a PAF (the column) in the Column Editor and attaching the linkage record to that column’s application-specific details. This establishes the actual field you will display and wires it to the correct linkage so the template knows where to pull the data from. Without creating this column and linking it, you can’t add a destination column to the template because there’s no defined field tied to the linkage to display. Runnning the report, creating a new Master File, or deleting the linkage aren’t the immediate next steps because the template needs a properly defined column that uses the linkage; those actions don’t establish the display column needed for the destination data.
