3.4.2 Data Mashup

Style Studio provides a powerful and easy-to-use data mashup tool called a Data Worksheet, which facilitates complex tasks such as what-if analysis and cross-domain analysis. With a simple point-and-click interface, the Data Worksheet helps you to analyze data and extract meaningful information with minimal effort. It allows you to build complex queries without knowledge of databases and query languages, and enables you to combine multiple queries from heterogeneous data sources into a single dataset, thus eliminating the problems caused by the simplified data model.

Once a Data Worksheet assembly is created to host the desired data, it can be saved as an asset. The asset can then be used as a source of data, and can be bound certain report elements in a manner similar to binding queries or data models. See Data Mashup for more information on creating assets.
