Model View Manager
A Model View represents a custom view of the OpenSpirit data model or of a native data model. Model Views are similar in concept to SQL views. They are used to present a database in a more user-friendly form. A model view can present a subset of the data model's data types and attributes. A model view can also change the names of data types and attributes and can join related data types to create a data type. Model views enable companies to present data in the OpenSpirit tools using terminology common to the company. Model views also enable companies to subset the data types to only expose the data types and attributes that are populated with data in their data stores.
The OpenSpirit framework includes a single model view for the OpenSpirit data model. It is used for browsing data in the Data Selector. Installing the optional OpenSpirit Scan Job Manager adds another model view that is based on the OpenSpirit data model. The scan model view is used to control how spatial data is handled by the Scan Job Manager tool.
The Model View Manager tool can be used to inspect these model views, derive new model views from them, or create entirely new model views for viewing the OpenSpirit data model or view native data models.
