representation type - Details

• 
  Key Concepts: 
  Representation type is a component of the Analysis Path Framework (APF) in SAP. It is used to define the structure of an analysis path, which is a graphical representation of a data model. Representation types are used to define the nodes and edges of an analysis path, as well as the attributes associated with each node and edge. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use representation types, you must first create a data model in SAP. Once the data model is created, you can then create a representation type for the data model. This will define the structure of the analysis path, including the nodes and edges, as well as any attributes associated with each node and edge. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a representation type, it is important to consider how the nodes and edges will be used in the analysis path. This will help ensure that the analysis path is easy to understand and navigate. Additionally, it is important to consider how the attributes associated with each node and edge will be used in order to ensure that all relevant information is included in the analysis path.
