Creating or modifying a model in Framework Manager
After you install Framework Manager, use it to create or modify models and to publish packages
if this is a function that you will perform in your organization.
Because stored data is typically designed for storage and not for reporting, a model allows you to
structure, add to, and manage data in ways that make sense to business users. For example, a model
defines business rules, data descriptions, data relationships, business dimensions and hierarchies,
and administrative tasks.
A package contains all the information that a specific user or group of users needs to create reports.
For example, one package can contain human resources data, and another sales data. When you
open an authoring studio, you must select which package to use. Each report can contain data from
only one package.
This section does not include instructions for modeling data in Framework Manager. For information
about how to use Framework Manager, see the Framework Manager User Guide and Guidelines
for Modeling Metadata that accompany Framework Manager.
