Cannot see table

Post by truenorth »

I have a brand new table that was not visible to IA. So I imported the metadata: identified levels, then imported. When I go to Column Analysis, the table is not in the list. Yet it is visible in Metadata Management. I can even see sample data.

What did I miss? The documentation has very little step-by-step instructions.

What are the basic steps to add new tables so they're visible in IA? Can this be set automatically, so that any new table in a schema that is already connected in IA just appears in the list?

Thanks in advance.

Not only do you need to import the table metadata (which you have done) you also have to register interest in analyzing that table in the project in which you want to perform the analysis. I believe it's this step that you have missed.

Thanks for that, Ray, I was able to add the tables and they're visible in Column Analysis now. The convoluted IA interface is long overdue for a major overhaul! Just about everything is hard to find.
