Structure of the editor
After creating or editing a new or existing query, the worksheet of the editor appears in the browser or in a separate window within the instantOLAP Workbench.
The editor
The editor is divided into three different areas:
- The Worksheet representing the query itself,
- the Model-Explorer, with which you can investigate the data model of the query and use its elements for the query with drag&drop,
- the Property-Viewer, which is used to view edit the properties of all elements of a query.
The editor in the Web-Frontend looks very similar to the editor in the Workbench but is slightly different, since you can edit several reports at the same time with the Workbench. Also, in the Workbench the Model-Explorer and the Property-Editor are not part of the editor window itself but fixed elements attached to the left border of the Workbench desktop.
All screenshots in this documentation show the editor in the Workbench.
