Note:
- Fields that have already been added and joined will be highlighted in blue.
- Fields highlighted in blue with bold black font means they are added but not joined.
Fields can be removed from the Data Model by right-clicking on the Field name and selecting Remove from Columns. It is possible to select multiple Fields by holding the Ctrl key and add them at the same time.
Calculated fields can also be added to a Data Model by selecting Add Calculated Column from the Insert drop-down menu or by clicking on the Add Calculated Column in the tool bar or by right-clicking in the Fields Table Section and selecting Add Calculated Column.
