The information design tool is a new modeling tool for the
semantic layer that enables you to manipulate metadata from relational and OLAP
sources, and to create and deploy SAP Business Objects universes. Classic
universe features available in Universe Designer have been redeveloped and
incorporated in the information design tool.
This document is a reference guide for users that have worked with
previous versions of Universe Designer, which has been re branded as the
universe design tool, to identify where to find classic universe features in
the Information design tool, and to define the differences between the two
semantic layer tools.
