Dashboards, models, datatables and scripts are organized into projects. Project Workspace shows all projects in a hierarchy (on the left) and contents of the selected project (on the right). Different types of objects are available in different tabs. There are currently tabs for dashboards and datatables, and in future also for scripts and models.

The Project Workspace can be opened by clicking the QPR Software logo on top left, or in the Home screen by clicking the Workspace button.

Managing Datatables

Datatables are used to store any tabular data in QPR ProcessAnalyzer. The data in datatables can be loaded into models by linking models to the datatables. Datatables can also be used as part of the ETL process to store intermediate results. Datatable names are unique within a project.

To create datatables, the global Create models permissions is needed (by default system administrators have it), and for deleting datatables, the project-specific Delete models permission is needed (by default projects administrators have it).

Data stored to Datatables have the following limitations: Maximum number of columns in a datatable is 300, and maximum string length (textual data) that can be stored into a datatable cell is 4000 characters.

Datatables can be created, moved and deleted in the Datatables tab, which shows all datatables in the selected project.

  2. Open the Datatables tab.
