Interpreting a Field Relationship Map

Overview

You want to review and interpret a field relationship map that was created as a part of a data exploration report run. The field relationship map provides a visual presentation for the field relationships that are covered in the Report tab.

Click Map to view the field relationship map on the Map tab. Each field is displayed as a point contained in the circle created by the outer database and the inner table rings. Move the mouse over the point for a field to see the name of the field and the names of the table and database that contain it. You can also find the selected field in a report.

Note: Some points are connected to other points with red lines. The red lines represent key relationships between the fields. You can also right-click a point to see a pop-up menu that enables you to display the selected field and related fields in the Report tab. Finally, you can click many of the points and see sample data for the selected field on the Data Sample tab on the right side of the Map tab.
