Adding Texts or AttributesLocate this document in the navigation structure

To enable an Open ODS view to contain attributes as well as texts, you can add further semantics, apart from the semantics specified during creation, to the view. You can add texts to Open ODS views with attributes, and you can add attributes to Open ODS views with texts.

Context

For example, if, in the first step, you require a simple data model for which you want to use only texts about facts Open ODS views, you can add the attribute modeling during a later step. This means that the function also supports flexible modeling of Open ODS views.

Procedure

  1. In the Edit menu, select the following entry:
    • In an Open ODS view with texts: Add Attributes
    • In an Open ODS view with attributes: Add Texts
  2. In the next dialog window, add data on source und target objects for the added semantics.
    More information: Specifying Semantics and Source for Open ODS View
  3. Maintain the key field mapping.
  4. Choose Create( Create).
    The Open ODS view now displays the tab for the added semantics.
  5. Specify the structure of the Open ODS view for the added semantics.
  6. Check, save, and activate the Open ODS view.

Results

The Open ODS view is ready for use. The added semantics is displayed as Secondary Semantics on the General tab.

You can now perform further modeling steps, for example changing field properties or adding associations.
