The global flag identifier indicates that the source fields in a record are to be added to the source fields of other records during a data collection.
Select the Global check box to set the global flag identifier for the record to true. After you do this, the record type values will be applied to every measure collected. The default setting of the global flag identifier is false.
You can also select this check box for records that do not repeat but contain source fields that are to be used in processing each measure.
For example, if a text file contains a line that indicates which build is being tested, you can create a record for it that defines a build source field. In this case, you select the Global check box. During data collection, the value of the build source field is inserted with every measure added to the warehouse.
