Perspective Editor Overview

In MDM server, a repository may consists of large number of attributes, multiple relationships defined with other repositories, and relationship attributes. However you may be interested in only a subset of the attributes and the relationships to perform various record operations. Navigating through the entire repository metadata is a significant overhead and adversely affects the performance.

Using the MDM Studio wizard you can define a subset of the attributes, the relationship attributes and the relationships of a repository during the design time. This subset view is called 'Perspective'.

Once the perspectives are defined for a repository, it is deployed to MDM server. In addition the perspectives are also saved to the database. The perspectives defined using the MDM Studio are viewed using the MDM server User Interface. The records and related records added to a repository are browsed based on the perspectives that are defined for the repository.
