For the Business Analysts who has good understanding on the business, the Business Builder becomes the go-to place with no-code low-code interface. For the tech-savvy developers or Power users, we got Data Builder. Everyone are finally happy :) Data Builder is a place where we have all the basic modeling tools for creating views and tables to prepare data for our stories, and use entity-relationship models to visualize and make associations between artifacts.

In a data flow, we will use views or tables that we may already have in our SAP Da

SAP Datasphere provides a large set of default connections to access data from a wide range of sources, source from SAP as well as non-SAP sources or partner tools, residing in an cloud as well as on-premise environment. Connections are defined in a separate view which can be found in the main navigation window of the left. Connections are individual objects in SAP Datasphere. They are created and maintained per SAP Datasphere Space which means only members of a specific Space are able to make use of the related connections. These connections can be then be used within the different tools (like SQL View Builder, Graphical View Builder or Data Flow) for creating your data models. SAP Datasphere can integrate with both SAP or Non-SAP Source systems and it can be either cloud or on-premise. We have multiple connection types in SAP Datasphere. Each connection type supports a defined set of features. Depending on the connection type and the connection configuration, a connection can be used
