External Data Objects (Importing and Exporting)
Go Up to ER/Studio Business Architect Tools - Importing and Exporting
You can use an External Data Object (EDO) in a diagram for reference or for data flow diagramming. You can then link to External Data Objects with a specific business process or task. There are two different types of External Data Objects: Logical and Physical. The Logical types are entities and attributes. The Physical types are tables and views.
