Create a Presentation Table

Manually create a presentation table when you can't drag and drop a table from the logical layer to the presentation layer.

You can select the Hide if field and write an expression to hide a presentation table. See Write an Expression to Hide a Presentation Object.

Semantic Modeler doesn't create an alias when you change a presentation table's name. If you need to track a table's previous names, then Oracle recommends that you use the Alternative Names field to create and manage alternative names for the table. For more information about alternative names, see About Alternative Names for Presentation Objects.
