Manage Objects

In AnalyticsCreator, all objects — such as schemas, tables, attributes, keys, views, and scripts — are centrally stored and maintained in a metadata repository. The platform provides a consistent interface for managing these objects across all project layers, ensuring governance, reuse, and automation readiness.

This section introduces the core concepts behind object management in the tool, divided into two categories: common operations and specific operations.

Common operations represent the actions that are available across most object types in the repository. These include general tasks such as creating, modifying, organizing, or validating metadata entries. The user interface offers consistent patterns for these tasks, enabling fast and structured model development.

These operations help ensure that metadata is complete, accurate, and aligned with project standards. They form the foundation of how users interact with objects in any stage of the modeling and deployment lifecycle.

Specific operations are contextual and depend on the type of object being edited or the layer in which it exists. These include configurations that control technical behavior, such as relationships, transformations, or deployment properties. They support advanced use cases and deeper control of how the object behaves in staging, EDW, or semantic layers.

By managing these object-specific settings, users can apply business rules, enforce data modeling standards, and prepare automation logic that adapts to the requirements of Microsoft Fabric and other target environments.
