The screenshot below displays an example of the case data page. In this example, the data dictionary was used to configure the way the case properties are presented. We can see different data sets represented in different tables, with the black "i" icon, that provides additional information about the case property when hovered over.

...

All properties in the data dictionary show up on CommCareHQ's Case Data page, whether they were saved in Case Management or otherwise. The "---" indicate that no value has been set. Blank means the property has been set to an empty string ("") - often when it's been cleared out deliberately by a user.

Case properties that exist but were not saved using Case Management will show up in an "Unrecognized" category until they're added to the Data Dictionary. The “Unrecognized” category will only show up if Case Property Groups exist in the Data Dictionary.

...

3. Import the file: Select the file and select the "upload data dictionary" option. After the import is completed, CommCare will display a message about the import.
