Review and Organize the Data Catalog

The Data Catalog in Analytical Designer contains attributes, measures, and calculated measures that are available for your insights.

The Data Catalog has three tabs that display either all data or only measure or attributes.

To add items from the Data Catalog to your insight, drag and drop them into the appropriate section in the insight. For details about creating insights, see Create Insights.

The Data Catalog displays only the items that are relevant to your insight. The items that cannot be added are hidden. Analytical Designer then displays a message in the Data Catalog to inform you.

Organize the Data Catalog

All measures and attributes in the Data Catalog are sorted alphabetically in a single list. Use tags if you want to add an item to one or multiple groups.

Groups and items within the groups are sorted alphabetically. The items that do not belong to any group are displayed in Ungrouped. Ungrouped is always the last group in the list.

Search for Items

Use the search bar in the Data Catalog to search for the measures and attributes that you need.

Analytical Designer scans all the item names and displays any item that contains your search string.

If you organize your catalog, Analytical Designer scans also the group names. When you switch to another tab, the search results adjust to correspond with the items to be displayed in that tab.
