Creating Clusters

When you need to add more tables to your synonym, you can use the Join feature to create a cluster. This allows you to enhance the structure of your synonym by introducing more data.

Procedure: How to Create a Cluster

  1. When uploading data or connecting to data on the main metadata screen, on the ribbon, click Join Editor.

    The Join Editor view opens.

  2. Click Insert Child.

    The Insert Child dialog box opens.

  3. Click a Master File from the list, select a synonym, and then click OK. You can select several synonyms at once.

    An example of a completed cluster is shown in the following image.

  4. Close the Join Editor dialog box.

    The new columns are added to the Table/Column pane.

  5. Drag columns to the Business View pane to modify the synonym.
