The WebFOCUS Visual Discovery AE Data Pool contains all data loaded into WebFOCUS Visual Discovery AE. The Data Pool consists of tables containing collections of fields. Tables may manipulated and related in a variety of way. The WebFOCUS Visual Discovery AE Link Wizard guides you through the process of linking two tables in the data pool or performing a link operation, such as a table copy or roll-up. Existing links may also be modified.
A link is a relationship between the data of two or more tables/fields in the data pool.
Note: The Data Links section is not enabled until at least two tables have been loaded into the application.

To add a new aggregate field, click on the Add Field button. A new empty row will be added to the bottom of the list. Click on the Origin Field cell in the new row and select the field that you want to aggregate. Click on the Operation Type cell in the new row and select the operation type you wish to apply to the field. A default destination field name is placed in the last cell of the new row. If you wish to change this name, click in the Destination Name cell and type in the new name.
For fields with numeric data types, operation choices include Copy, Count, Sum, Max, Min, and Avg. For categorical fields, operation choices are Copy and Count. The default operation for numeric fields is set to Sum, while categorical fields are set to use the Copy operation.
You can delete any of aggregate fields from the list by highlighting the entire row by clicking on the box to the left of the first column. Shift and Control keys can be used to highlight multiple rows as once. Use the right mouse button to select the Delete Selected Rows context menu option.
You can edit any of the existing aggregate fields clicking on the cell and either selecting a different value from the drop-down list for Origin Field and Operation Type columns, or by typing in a new name for the Destination Name column.
Click Next.
For each type of link, there are also dialogs that allow existing links to be examined and modified. These dialogs use multiple tabs with essentially the same pages as exist in the Wizard.
