Data Hub - Numbered List vs Regular List
I am in the process of creating a Data Hub, where we will be getting multiple files to create lists in the DH. I need to consider creating the flat lists as either numbered or regular list.
For the lists which have member names longer than sixty, I would create a numbered list where I would make use of the Display Name properties. However, with lists that have less than sixty, can you suggest any other advantages of using numbered list ?
In case of lists that have members names shorter than sixty, do you recommend using regular list of numbered list?
I have heard that are issue mapping numbered list if we need to send fact data across models.
Any suggestion would be ap

Hello @khoonks
Evaluate the need for numbered list. Numbered list should be used only when
- Duplicate names exist in the list
- Display name is more than 60 characters
- Need to insert elements during run time by users (via dashboard)
Other than the 3 above, i do not see any other advantage of using numbered list.
Thanks

@khoonks in completion of what @ArunManickam said: you need to use numbered lists also when the import files received do not have a single column as "primary key" of the file but it is a combination of columns...
You will need to use a numbered list in order to "park" and import the file using the unique combination of columns (properties).
However, when you need to transfer the data from data-hub mode into spoke models for numbered lists elements it is strongly advised to use the Codes of the elements.
below some discussion about this:
Hope it helps
