Adding objects

Each model is started by adding objects to the model.

  1. Click + in the top left part of the modeling area to open the Add Objects panel.
    All objects from the source database available with the specified credential are listed.
  2. Use the object type selector or the search field, or both to filter the list of objects.
  3. Drag and drop the selected object anywhere to the modeling area.
  4. Drag and drop the next object over one of the existing objects in the model to create a relation (Join).
    The object properties are:
    • Edit
      Click the Edit icon in the object to set object alias.
    • Filters
      Click the Filter icon in the object to add new filtering rules. Filter is described in the Filter section.
    • Columns
      Click the Column icon in the object to select columns to be extracted. Column selector is described in the Column section.
    • Delete
      Click the basket icon to delete the object. If the object is not the last one in the hierarchy (leaf node, rightmost object), the object can be deleted only together with all objects on the right side of this branch.

    With the object preview function you can see content of each object from the source database even before it is added to the model.

  5. Click pin on the line with the selected object in the Add Objects panel.
    The object is added to the Data Drawer and the first 100 rows are displayed in the grid view.
  6. Click × in the Data Drawer or pin in the Add Objects panel to close the object preview.
