Worksheet Enhancements

erwin ER360 introduces the following Worksheet features:

  • MetaQL Support: You can now use MetaQL, a lightweight, SQL-like query language, to make your filter logic in data models easier to understand, share, and audit.

    To view and edit a MetaQL query, follow these steps:

    1. In the Filters pane, click .

      The MetaQL query for the applied filters is displayed.

    2. Update the filters in the query as required, and then Click Execute.

      For example, change the text value from 'Customer' to 'Movie'.

      3. You can view the filtered data.

  • Advanced Filters: Additional filters are improved to enable you to refine searches for metadata objects with enhanced control. You can filter records using an extensive range of common attributes, object attributes, and user-defined properties (UDPs) to generate more accurate and relevant results.

    The following table lists a few examples:
