Preview of tables and fields in the data model viewer

In the data model viewer, you can get a preview of any data table in a panel at the bottom of the screen. In the preview, you can quickly inspect the contents of a table or field. You can also add dimensions and measures quickly if you select a field.

A preview of a table shows the 10 first table fields and their values, and a preview of a field shows an individual field with its 10 first values. Additionally, metadata such as information density and tags are displayed in the preview panel.

You can show and hide the preview panel in two ways:

  • Click j in the data model viewer toolbar
  • Click the Preview header
Information noteDirect Discovery data is not displayed in the preview Á. See Direct Discovery
