The Report Editor's Data Model view is a work area in which you create, define, and modify data model objects (queries, groups, formula columns, summary columns, placeholder columns, system and user parameters, and data links) to be used in your report. In this view, objects and their property settings are represented symbolically to highlight their types and relationships. To create the query objects for your data model, you can use the Report Wizard, Data Wizard, or the Query tools in the tool palette.
Reports Builder uses the data model to determine what data to retrieve for the report. The data retrieved from the database may or may not appear in the report output.
To display the Data Model view:
