A DAT Regenerative Table is a type of DAT table that does not continuously update in real time. Instead, its contents are regenerated on demand through a refresh process. This regeneration step rebuilds the table using the most current data and configuration settings available at the time of refresh.
Regenerative tables are especially useful when the underlying calculations or data checks are complex, or when a static snapshot of the data is more practical than live updates. Example: The Graduation Requirements table is regenerative.
When you access a DAT regenerative table, you will see options to Apply Parameters and Refresh Datasource. The Apply Parameters action loads the appropriate fields for that table, while the Refresh Datasource action regenerates the table's data to reflect the latest updates.
Note: The Datasource can only be refreshed every few hours, as the regeneration process is complex and resource-intensive.
