About a runtime business view

In this release of Incorta, a Runtime Business View conceptually describes the three type of views that you can create in a Business Schema.

There three types of runtime business views are:

These view types — business schema view, Incorta Analyzer View, and Incorta SQL View — can exist within the same business schema. You can create a business schema view with the Business Schema Designer, an Incorta Analyzer View with the Analyzer, and an Incorta SQL View with Query Editor.

From a conceptual perspective, a runtime business view represents a logical view of a subset of data within related physical schema tables. The following table describes how:
