The Data Wizard helps you to quickly and easily define a query, break groups, and totals for a multiquery report. After the wizard has created the data model, you can:

Note

In this release, the Data Wizard does not support creating links between queries. To define parent/child query relationships, you can create a data link manually.

The Data Wizard is re-entrant

A powerful quality of the Data Wizard is its ability to operate in re-entrant mode. This means you can use the Data Wizard to modify the queries for an existing data model.

To invoke the Data Wizard in re-entrant mode, click an existing query and choose Toolsright arrowData Wizard.

Navigating in the Data Wizard

The Data Wizard provides six buttons to help you navigate through its pages:

Cancel 

Cancels all changes you have made (if any), and exit the wizard 

Help 

Displays online Help text for the current page of the wizard 

Back

Navigates to the previous page in the wizard

Next

Navigates to the next page in the wizard

Apply

Applies changes you have made (re-entrant wizard only)

Finish

Saves changes you have made with the wizard (if any), and exit the wizard

Note

If you click Next before you have entered all necessary information for a particular wizard page, the wizard prevents you from navigating to the next page. Similarly, if you have not entered all necessary information into the wizard when you click Apply or Finish, the wizard automatically places you onto the page where you can finish entering the required data.
