Working with the visual model

Working with the visual model

Use the
Visual Model
tab to view the structure of the
intelligent structure model
. The visual model shows the discovered types of data as nodes and shows their relationship to each other in a graphical format.
You can drag the model to focus on a specific section. You can also use the following actions to navigate the structure:
  • Export. Exports the model. Available with the appropriate license.
  • Zoom in and zoom out. Increases and decreases the display size of the model.
  • Rotate. Toggles the display between the folder view and tree view.
  • Undo. Reverts the last action.
  • Find. Opens the
    Find & Actions
    tab.
In the tree view, a grouping of data fields appears as a node with child nodes. For example, the input data might contains a full name, such as
Tatanya Morales
. The
intelligent structure model
represents the name with a
name
parent node, a child node for the first name, and a child node for the last name. The following image shows the parent and child nodes:
A model contains a tree-like structure, including a parent node with two child nodes.
You can collapse parent nodes, for example, if an
intelligent structure model
contains parent nodes with many child nodes. To collapse a node, click the node and select
Collapse
. The visual model hides the child nodes, but they remain in the
intelligent structure model
. The following image shows a model with a collapsed node:
An intelligent structure model that contains a collapsed parent node symbolized by a plus sign.
If a model is based on an Excel file that contains multiple sheets, the visual model displays all of the sheets.
