Reorder and Nest Tables for End Users

You can specify the order and levels that a subject area's tables display to users who access the subject area to create visualization and analyses.

You can move a presentation table up or down to change its position in the subject area, and you can change the table's relationship to the other tables in the subject area by moving the table right or left. Moving tables right and left provides the end user with nested folders in the subject area.

Changing the table order doesn't change the order that the presentation tables display in the Semantic Modeler's Presentation Layer pane. The table order and nesting you specify only appears in the subject area's Tables tab and the subject area that end users access. The tables aren't actually nested in drill-down, and the qualified names of the objects remain the same.

When you run consistency check on the subject area, the consistency check detects any circularity in parent-child presentation table assignments. It also detects and reports project definitions that include child presentation tables without parent presentation tables.
