About groups for linked views

Studio automatically creates a linked view for each linked data set. For each linked view, Studio also creates a default set of attribute groups.

The default attribute groups for a linked view consist of:
  • The attribute groups from the source data set
  • For each data set that the source data set is linked to, an attribute group containing all of the attributes in that data set, except for the link key attributes. The group is named for the data set.
For example, as shown in the following diagram:
  • The Sales and Products data sets are linked by the SKU attribute
  • The Sales and Customers data sets are linked using the Customer First Name and Customer Last Name attributes.

For these links, Studio creates the following views:
  • Sales - linked
  • Products - linked
  • Customers - linked

If the base views for the data sets contain the following groups:

Data Set Base View Groups
Sales Order Creation

Customer Information

Shipping Details

Products Product Summary

Product Pricing

Customers Customer Name

Customer Contact Information

Then for the linked views, Studio creates the following default attribute groups:

Linked View Default Attribute Groups
Sales - linked Order Creation

Customer Information

Shipping Details

Products (all Product attributes, except for SKU)

Customers (all Customer attributes, except for Customer First Name and Customer Last Name)

Products - linked Product Summary

Product Pricing

Sales (all Sales attributes, except for SKU)

Customers - linked Customer Name

Customer Contact Information

Sales (all Sales attributes, except for Customer First Name and Customer Last Name)

These are default groups only. You can create, edit, and remove groups for linked views the same way you would for base or custom views.
