Overview
We are introducing a completely new metadata model that transfers the control over how and what information is captured from the hands of developers back to you – system administrators. This model is based on the premise of simplifying the metadata structure by flattening it. This approach allows us to represent the metadata as relatively simple database table which can be queried both from within Earthlight EVO eVO as well as via database reporting software e.g.: SQL Server Reporting Service, Crystal Reports, BOARD and many others.

Validating a model
While working on a metadata model it’s possible to verify whether the structure that you’ve created is considered by Earthlight as a valid one. To do so you can click Validate at any point during metadata creation or modification without enforcing your changes onto the database metadata table.
...
and a name for your metadata model:
Deleting metadata
This tool allows users to delete metadata form from the repository along with a database table.
To delete metadata form choose it from a list and click OK button.
Delete metadata confirmation window will be displayed. It will show the metadata name and database table name that form refers to. In order to drop the database table as well just tick the checkbox next to that option.
