Navigation tree

The Navigation tree provides the primary structural view of an AnalyticsCreator repository and helps users browse objects by area, layer, and responsibility.

It is the fastest way to move across repository components, inspect relationships, and open the exact object or configuration area needed during design, maintenance, and troubleshooting.

Available topics

Connectors

Explains how connector objects appear in the tree and how they organize source-system access points.

Layers

Describes how repository layers structure objects and separate modeling responsibilities across the solution.

Packages

Shows how package objects are grouped in the tree for orchestration, movement, and process control.

Indexes

Covers where index definitions appear and how they are organized within the repository hierarchy.

Roles

Documents the tree placement of role-related objects used for access and semantic model control.

Galaxies

Explains how galaxy structures are represented and accessed from the navigation tree.

Hierarchies

Shows how hierarchy objects are grouped in the tree for analytical model navigation.

Partitions

Describes where partition definitions live in the tree and how they support model organization.

Parameters

Explains how technical and functional parameters are exposed for repository configuration and reuse.

Macros

Documents the navigation-tree location of reusable macros and shared logic components.

Object scripts

Covers how object-level scripts are organized for targeted execution and automation tasks.

Filters

Shows how filter definitions appear in the tree and support selective modeling behavior.

Predefined transformations

Explains where predefined transformation templates are stored and accessed from the tree.

Snapshots

Describes the tree location of snapshot-related objects used for point-in-time handling.

Deployments

Documents how deployment objects are grouped for release preparation and execution.

Groups

Shows how group structures help organize large repositories and related object collections.

Models

Explains where model objects appear in the tree and how they anchor business-facing structures.

Transformations

Describes how transformation logic is surfaced in the tree for editing, tracing, and maintenance.

How to use this section

  • Use the tree to move quickly between repository object families instead of searching manually across dialogs and designers.
  • Start with structural areas such as Layers, Parameters, and Groups when orienting yourself inside a project.
  • Use object-specific branches such as Connectors, Packages, Deployments, and Transformations when working on a focused implementation task.
  • Use the tree as the operational backbone of the repository, then open individual topics here to understand the behavior of each object area in detail.

Key takeaway

The Navigation tree organizes AnalyticsCreator repository objects into a clear operational hierarchy, making it the central navigation surface for browsing, opening, and managing solution components.
