: Show the ExtraData field. Note that this field is not meant to be filled via an

Data Model contextual menu
The Data Model is generally constructed by extracting data; see "Extracting data" on page169.
It is however possible to modify the Data Model, even if no data is present in the pane. To do
this, open the contextual menu within the pane itself by right-clicking on something in the Data
Model pane. Depending on where you've clicked, it can contain the following options:
l
Add Field: Click to add a new field at the current level (record or detail table). Enter the
field name in the dialog; if you want you can change the field's data type and set a default
value. Then click OK to add it to the Data Model.
l
Add Table: Click to add a new detail table at the current level (record or existing detail
table). Enter the table name in the dialog and click OK to add it.
Note
Rename, Delete and Set Type are only available for Data Model fields or detail tables that are not
filled via an extraction.
Fields and detail tables that are filled via an Extract step are to be changed (renamed, deleted etc.)
via the properties of that Extract step; see: "Editing fields" on page209 and "Renaming a detail
table" on page244.
l
Rename: Click to rename the selected table or field. Enter the new name and click OK to
rename.
l
Delete: Click to delete the selected table or field.
l
Set Type: Use the list to select the field type (see "Data types" on page219).
l
Default Value: Click to set the default value for a field. This value is used if no extraction
is present, or if an extraction attached to this field returns no value.
l
Collapse Fields: Collapse the fields in the selected level.
