DataFlux Data Management Studio 2.5: User Guide

Viewing the Data Model for a Table

Overview

You can identify key fields, data types, and other elements of a table's data model by using the Data Model tab to display the data model. You can display this tab in any context in which a table can be selected.

To view the data model, right-click a table, select Open, and click the Data Model tab. Alternatively, from the desktop, click the Data Connections riser bar. Then, open a connection and select a table. Finally, click the Data Model tab on the right.

The tab displays a list of the fields contained in the table. Each field has an icon that indicates the data type for each field, whether it is a calculated field, a key field, and so on.

Note that you can move the tables around to make them look better or to create a layout that is better for printing or saving. You can also print the layouts or save them to a GIF file. However, the rearranged tables are not persisted across invocations of the tab.
