Working with Presentation Tables

You can use presentation tables to organize columns into categories that make sense to the user community. Presentation tables in the Presentation layer contain columns. A presentation table can contain columns from one or more logical tables. The names and object properties of the presentation tables are independent of the logical table properties.

Presentation Tables Dialog Box

The Presentation Tables dialog box has three tabs: General, Columns, and Aliases. The functionality provided in each tab is described in Table 10.
