The HMI Data Explorer lets you define the data model for your project. By shaping the data appropriately, you can ensure that it best fits your HMI.
In most cases, you import data from various sources using the Data Source Explorer. For more information, refer to the Importing Data From Data Sources Into Your Project guide.
You can also define the data model inside the HMI first, and then link it to a data source later. If you want to learn more, explore the The Two Strategies for Defining Data in HELIO .
You can enrich variables you’ve imported into your project with additional metadata. For example you can specify Minimum and Maximum Values (Data Variable Property) for Numeric Data Variables. HELIO can pick up this metadata to simplify the job of your operators.
