Reload data

The Load Data workspace can be used to reload data into existing documents, for example if projects have been changed in the data source.

When you are reloading data, click the Options button on the ribbon. In the dialog, select which project settings should be reset from the values in the data source:

If you have several data sources and want to reload only some of them, check the boxes next to their names. Now these data sources will be reloaded together every time you click the Load button . Note that this function is enabled only after the initial data load. When you load data for the first time, all data sources must be loaded and the checkboxes next to their names will be disabled.

To check whether data sources have errors, click the Validate button . If errors or warnings are found, a message will be displayed and the data source icon will change to or respectively.
