The Data Model
The Data Model is basically the structure into which the records are extracted. It is the structure
of all the fields and tables of an extracted record. The Data Model contains all the necessary
information to be used in the creation of a template in the Designer module. The group of
records generated from the Data Sample is called the Record Set and it is stored in the Unified
Data Model (UDM) format.
The main advantage of the Data Model is that it is reusable, meaning that it be shared amongst
different layouts and outputs created with the Connect Designer. This UDM also allows a same
layout or output to be populated of data from different sources and formats without the need to
modify it. This would be impossible without the universality of the UDM.
