Users can create "manual" (without a connection) databases in the repository. This can be useful for vaious occasions:

  1. you want to import tables from external source (with Excel or copy&paste),
  2. you want to model data,
  3. you want to create Subject Areas/Modules unrelated to any specific database (for instance if you want to collect objects from various databases),
  4. you want to document files that need to be added in existing database

To add manual database click Add Source in the ribbon and choose Manual database option.
