Work Area: Graphical View

The Graphical View option is the default format and displays a graphical representation of the data objects in the work area.

If you are not familiar with SQL query, the graphical representation lets you access the same data in a clearly organized and user friendly display. You can still create complex data objects without writing any SQL code.

To open a data object table in the work area, click the Object Name from the listing on the left, then drag and drop into the work area.

The data object name appears at the top of the block with its alias displayed underneath. The SQL query uses the alias for multiple instances of the same data object. Aliases are generated automatically when the object is created. To change the alias, click it and enter a new alias in the pop-up window.
