An Inzata data model an integrated structure that associates and connects your different datasets in Inzata to support your analytics. Logical Data Models are characterized by the logical “Join†relationships between associated fields that allow of your datasets to function as a cohesive whole to support your analytics activities. Joins within a Data Model allow your users to use fields from nearly anywhere in the data model in their reports and dashboards, and enable you to answer much more advanced questions than you could when the data was separated. Tips for creating new join relationships Figure 12: Illustration of join rules When you integrate two loads into a single project, you can join them while following the rules described above. There are two possibilities for how to join loads – suggested or manually. To join two loads or clusters, follow the following instructions when in the InModeler module: Figure 13: Drag primary key attribute text label to the “From Object†area on the right properties panel 5. Select the join cluster attribute and drop it into the To Object section of Join the panel inthe same way. Figure 14: Drag second attribute text label (not a primary key) to the “To Object†area on the right properties panel 6. Press the Join button. The LDM graph is automatically refreshed.The graph symbol of thejoin attribute is changed (an orange corner is added). The join dimension attribute isconnected to the target cluster and the join cluster attribute (in the target cluster) isremoved. In our example, the “CL Member Version Key“ was substituted by the “Member Version Key“. Figure 15: LDM after cluster joining
