Tables (Data Source View Designer) (SSAS)

Use the Tables pane of Data Source View Designer to modify and manage tables included in the data source view.

The Tables pane displays all of the tables in the data source view. Each table node can be expanded to display the columns and relationships for the selected table.

To include a table in the currently displayed diagram, drag the table from the Tables pane to the diagram pane.

To center the display on a table that is already included in the diagram, select the table in the Tables pane.
