Working with Presentation Tables and Columns Presentation tables and presentation columns appear as folders and columns in Oracle BI Answers. You can customize presentation tables and presentation columns to help users craft queries based on their business needs. This section contains the following topics: ■ Creating and Managing Presentation Tables ■ Creating and Managing Presentation Columns Creating and Managing Presentation Tables You can use presentation tables to organize columns into categories that make sense to the user community. A presentation table can contain columns from one or more logical tables. The names and object properties of the presentation tables are independent of the logical table properties. Typically, presentation tables are created automatically by dragging and dropping logical tables from the logical layer. To edit the properties of a presentation table: 1. In the Presentation layer, double-click a presentation table. The Presentation Table dialog appears. 2. In the General tab, you can change the name for the presentation table. Note that aliases are created automatically whenever presentation objects are renamed, so that any queries using the original name do not break. Also, a presentation table cannot have the same name as its parent subject area. For example, you cannot have a subject area called Customer that has a Customer table within it.3.
