The User Console has a Data Source Wizard that guides you through setting up CSV files, as well as relational and multidimensional data models, as data sources for building Interactive and Analysis Reports. The initial data models you create with the wizard enable you to immediately see how your data looks in Interactive Reporting and Analyzer. Your results appear in Interactive Reporting and Analyzer as you change model structures, adding tables and columns with the wizard.

Note: If you are not logged in with permissions to create, edit, and delete data sources, you are limited to view-only permissions and do not see any icons associated with adding, editing, or deleting data sources.
