Importing metadata from data sources

When you are modifying a project, you can import metadata from a variety of data sources, both relational and dimensional. Before importing, it is important that you determine that the data source contains the data and metadata that satisfy your reporting needs.
About this task
You can use the sample metadata models to select the system objects that you want to import.
  1. Click the namespace, folder, or segment that you want to import into
  2. From the Actions menu, click Run Metadata Wizard.
  3. Click Data sources and click Next.
  4. In the import wizard, select the check boxes for the objects you want to import.
  5. Choose either to import and create a unique name, or not to import. If you choose to create a unique name, the imported object is displayed with a number. For example, you see QuerySubject and QuerySubject1 in your project.
  6. If you want to import system objects, select the Show System Objects check box, and then select the system objects that you want to import.
  7. Click Next and click Finish.
