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. On the General tab under Semantics (for the semantics that you want to create), choose New.
  2. A dialog box opens for the added semantics. Specify the information for the source and source object and choose OK.
    More information: Specifying Semantics and Source for Open ODS View
    The Open ODS view now displays the tab for the added semantics.
  3. Specify the structure of the Open ODS view for the added semantics.
    Note The system automatically performs the key field assignment where possible.
  4. Check the key field assignment and make any required changes.
  5. Save and activate the Open ODS view.

Results

The Open ODS view is ready for use.

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