Step 4: Mapping Columns and Configuring Join Conditions

  1. Map the columns from the joined tables to the corresponding columns in your Query Table.
  2. Define the join conditions by specifying the common columns on which the tables should be joined.
  3. Configure any additional options, such as sorting or filtering the data, if required.

Step 5: Previewing and Validating the Query Table Data

  1. Preview the results of your Query Table to ensure that the data is correctly joined and aligned.
  2. Validate the output against your expectations, verifying that the desired columns and records are included.

Step 6: Saving and Utilizing the Query Table Data

  1. Save the Query Table in your Zoho Analytics workspace or database.
