Create an imported object type as a collection of profile objects in imported
models.
- The possible attribute types are defined as a part of profiles which are associated
with the different metadata sources such as RDBMS or Tableau. The purpose of defining
an imported object type is to group these different profile objects into collections
of imported object types.
- You can also associate custom attributes with the imported object types. You need to
specify a scope within the set of imported objects to which the custom attributes
will apply.
