You can modify directly the cells of this temporary target column in the target datastore table according to your needs. If you are adding a source, lookup, join, or filter, a wizard will guide you through the next steps. ■ Add Sources Wizard ■ Lookup Tables Wizard ■ Join Table Wizard ■ Filter Table Wizard Add Sources Wizard Use the Add Sources Wizard to add the sources of your Interfaces. You can add datastores or integration interfaces as sources. To a datastore as a source of the Interface: 1. Select the Datastores tab. The Add Sources Wizard displays the list of datastores with their Models and Model folders that can be used as a source of the Interface. 2. From the list, select the datastore that you want to add as a source of the Interface. Note that you can browse through the list or filter this list by entering a partial or complete name of the datastore in the search field. 3. Modify the alias of the datastore optional.
