Wires Features
You open Wires from DATA SOURCES > Wires in the Business Analytics Hub main menu.
Note:  
Some features in Wires may not be accessible to you based on your Business Analytics permissions.
*Design Canvas: is where you create or edit mashups. You can drag or drop blocks from the Block Menus into the canvas and then connect them to define how the mashup should work.
The canvas also contains the Wires toolbar with basic editing actions. Some features that may be new to you include:
*Status: On or Status: Off options allow you to change the status of the mashup.
Mashups that are on are considered"published". They are accessible to other users and can be used in other mashups or in apps. You must turn mashups off before you edit them.
Mashup status is also automatically updated when you save the mashup. The status is turned on if all blocks are fully configured and results are connected to the mashup output or turned off if not.
* Select All to select all blocks on the canvas so that you can move them together. You can also use Ctrl + A.
*View EMML to see the raw XML statements for the mashup. You can also copy these commands to the clipboard. You can also use Ctrl + U.
