Data Model contextual menu
The Data Model is generally constructed by extracting data; see "Extracting data" on page254.
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.
Note
Moving and grouping fields in the Data Model has no impact on the order in which data
are extracted, or on the final records in the OL Connect database. They only help you
organize the Data Model visually.
To learn how to change the order in which data are extracted, see "Renaming and
reordering fields in an extraction step" on page294.
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.
l

Enter the group name in the dialog and click OK to add it. Any selected fields will be

page288.)
