  • Graphical user interface for field calculations
    Patent number: 10552526
    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a non-transitory machine-readable medium that stores a program executable by at least one processing unit of a device. The program provides, through a graphical user interface (GUI), a tool for creating a field calculation that operates on data defined in a relational data model. The program also receives, through the GUI, the field calculation created using the tool. The program further generates data for a data integration operation based on the field calculation. The program also performs the data integration operation based on the generated data.
    Type: Grant

  • Graphical user interface for qualifying navigations through relational data models
    Patent number: 10409436
    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a non-transitory machine-readable medium that stores a program executable by at least one processing unit of a device. The program receives a selection of a navigation route through a relational data model. The relational data model includes several entities and a set of relationships among the several entities. The program also provides, through a graphical user interface (GUI), a tool for qualifying an attribute associated with an entity in the selected navigation route. The program further receives a selection of a value for the attribute associated with the entity in the navigation route for a data integration operation.

  • Graphical user interface for querying relational data models
    Patent number: 10296504
    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a non-transitory machine-readable medium that stores a program executable by at least one processing unit of a device. The program receives a selection of a first entity and a second entity in a relational data model. The relational data model includes several entities and a set of relationships among the several entities. The program also determines a set of navigation routes through the relational data model based on the first and second entities. The program further provides the determined navigation routes through a graphical user interface (GUI) in order to provide a visual context of data in the relational data model.
