Datamodel in Platform¶

Datamodels are fundamental entities to introduce abstraction in a DBMS. Datamodels define how data gets connected and how they are processed and stored inside the system. Datamodels are used as an aid for communicating between the business people and defining the requirements and are used to show the data needed and created by business processes.

In the platform, datamodel is an input configuration for the activities in the data flow process and in the entity, Queries.
In Platform, for creating a Datamodel, you need to define a Datasource (database connection details).
You can create Datamodels that apply to the entire organization or that are specific to data flows.

Organization and Local Level Datamodels¶

The organization-level Datamodel or local Datamodel has the same configurations and properties except that the organization-level datamodel applies to the whole organization and data-flow level Datamodels apply to that particular data flow.

Organization Level Entities:

All users can access all the organization level entities.

  • Navigate to the App Studio > Datamodel for creating and manging the organization-level Datamodels.

Local Level Entities:

Displays all data flow specific and organization level entities.
Only the user who created the entity can use it in the specified flow within which it is created.

  • Navigate to the App Studio > Application > Data Flow > Datamodel entity for creating and manging the local-level or data flow-level Datamodel entities.

Viewing Datamodels¶

Organization Datamodels¶

  • Navigate to the App Studio > Datamodel.
    The datamodel page displays all the datamodels that are created at the organization level.

Local Datamodels¶

Local entities are those entities associated with any of the flow modules. The Datamodel entities associated with each data flow will appear within that data flow.

  • Navigate to App Studio >Application – open your application > Data Flow – open your data flow > Datamodel. The datamodel page displays all the datamodels in the organization level and those created for the selected data flow.
