Builder Window

Object Pane

This page contains all the objects in the metadata repository. These objects are stored in object groups (e.g. Dimension, Fact, etc.). The object groups in turn can optionally be stored in Projects, and the Projects can optionally be stored within Project Groups.

Drop Target Pane

This pane is used to display the results of various queries on both the metadata and the underlying source and database tables. The middle pane is also used as the drop target in drag-and-drop operations. The status line at the bottom of the screen displays the current contents of the middle pane. To send the middle pane output to a file or to a clipboard, refer to Export Middle Pane Output for details.

Results Pane

This pane is used to display the results of various queries on both the metadata and the underlying source and database tables.

Browser Pane

This pane displays both Source and Data Warehouse systems. There are two browser panes available at any one time. The source may be the data warehouse itself. The Browser Pane can be filtered: 

• To filter by type, click the down arrow next to the Filter button.
• To filter by name, click the Filter button and enter the filter criteria in the Filter dialog. Name-based filters can be cleared by clicking the down arrow next to the Filter button and selecting Clear Name Based Filter from the menu.
