MDP Apply Parent-Child Relationships to Share Attributes Across Data Streams

To share dimensional values across data streams, you can create parent-child relationships.

1. Navigate to the Import tab.
2. Expand Data Streams List.
3. Create a data stream or edit one.
4. At the bottom of the Data Stream page, click Advanced.
5. Scroll to the Parent Child section.
6. From the dropdown, select a parent data stream.
7. Define how to update data.
   • Update Attributes — Update existing mapped attributes across all data streams in the parent-child data pool. The update occurs based on matching entity keys each time data is ingested.
   • Inherit Attributes and Hierarchy —The data stream’s mapped attributes and media buy, campaign, and site hierarchy are updated across other data streams in the parent-child data pool. The update occurs based on matching entity keys each time data is ingested.
   • Update Attributes and Hierarchy — Update the existing mapped attributes and media buy, campaign, and site hierarchy across all data streams in the parent-child data pool. The update occurs based on matching entity keys each time data is ingested.
