Managing the metadata

You can add, remove and edit the entities and attributes according to your needs. All management tasks are performed in the Manage Metadata window, which you can open using one of the following methods:

• Click the Manage button at the bottom left of the Metadata panel.
• Click the Entities number in the Metadata panel.
• Select Manage from the drop-down menu in the top right of the Metadata panel.

The Manage Metadata window is split into two tabs: The Logical Metadata tab and the Physical Metadata tab. The Logical Metadata tab shows the entities and attributes as they appear in the Metadata whereas the Physical Metadata tab provides a preview of the actual tables (and columns) that will be created in the Storage Zone.

In the Logical Metadata tab, you can perform various management tasks such as adding and/or editing entities and attributes.
