User Interface
The AnalyticsCreator user interface is designed to support structured, metadata-driven development of data products. It provides a clear separation between modeling, configuration, and generation activities, enabling users to navigate complex data solutions efficiently.
The interface is organized into multiple functional areas that work together:
- Navigation & Repository Structure
Provides access to repositories, object groups, and individual objects. It reflects the logical organization of the data solution and supports collaboration across teams. - Design & Modeling Area
The central workspace where users define sources, transformations, and data products. This includes visual representations of data flows and dependencies, supporting transparency and impact analysis. - Properties & Configuration Panels
Context-sensitive panels that allow detailed configuration of selected objects, including technical settings, mappings, and behavior definitions. - Toolbar
Offers quick access to key actions such as synchronization, validation, and deployment, enabling an efficient workflow from design to delivery. - Lineage & Dependency Visualization
Displays relationships between objects and data flows. Users can explore upstream and downstream dependencies to understand the impact of changes.
The interface follows a metadata-driven approach: users define logic and structure once, and AnalyticsCreator generates the corresponding technical artifacts. This ensures consistency, traceability, and efficient lifecycle management across environments.
