Data Model objects

The Data Model provides a simplified, English-oriented, nontechnical view of the metadata.

In the Data Model, business entities are defined and information is renamed to enable it to be represented using common business names and grouped from a business perspective. The Data Model provides intuitive access to the report building blocks. Using Tools> Modify Names, you can change the names of the columns. This function provides a list of name rules that are run for these entities. This section describes the Data Model components.
