HANA views
Modular approach
When creating views, it is important to consider that certain information can be built as a
separated view which could be joined through specific objects, this way is possible to reduce
the size of the view and in addition the separated view could be reused in other views:
The semantics node Simple Join

represent the node that
contains the output of
the fields that are to
shown by the view.
Join with a sub-view

Tips and Tricks - filters
You can use filters within the Projection nodes to select data according to your needs:
Click on the Projection node, then in

the output window, open the “Filter”
folder and double-click on the
“Expression”, then type or select the
fields and enter the criteria for the filter
to apply.

Tips and Tricks - Calculated fields
You can create your own fields by adding calculated fields, the calculated fields is available in
the output window under “Calculated Columns” field:
Click on the node you would like to add

a calculated field, then right click on the
folder “Calculated Columns” then select
new, enter the name of the field, data
type and the corresponding
characteristics (i.e. length), then in the
syntax enter the logic for the field to be
calculated.

Tips and Tricks – Data Preview
As you progress building the view logic, you can use

the feature “Data Preview” to ensure that the data
being pulled is accurate and at the same time have a
sense about the execution performance, normally
individual nodes should execute in a matter of few
seconds.
There are 3 tabs in the “Data Preview”:
Analysis: Could be use to graphically represent the

data like a excel graph.
Distinct values: Could be use to perform statistics for

an specific field in the view.
Raw data: Get the data that can be exported to a text

file. © Siemens AG 2019

Tips and Tricks – A Script View
There is a different view which could be

useful, depending on the requirements,
an identified recurrent request is to get
one single field which could be result of
multiple records based on the data
selection.
For example, get multiple status in one During the creation of

field or get long text in one field. the view select type
“SQL Script” and then
This could be achieve with a “Script in the “View
View”, as you can use embedded Properties” tab select
