The logical model is the place where all the details fall into place. A diagram in a logical model is typically filled by dragging in tables or individual columns from a source system model.
The diagram in a logical model however will still have the ability to associate the actual data with the tables, allowing the user to easily verify the results of the design.
Logical models have the following main settings:
