Attribute views are used to model master data like products, employees, and business partners. They can be reused in analytic and calculation views. To create an attribute view, you select the relevant table, choose the columns to include as attributes, define a key attribute, and activate the view. This allows the data to be joined and used in other contexts.

3. Steps to Create Attribute View:
 Step 1 : Open HANA Studio and we have to ensure
we are in Modeler perspective
 Step 2 : Create a new package under the content
folder.
Right-click on the content folder and choose "New" ->
"Package." Fill the fields "Name" and "Description"
and click "OK”.
If the new package doesn’t appear after this, try right-
clicking on the content folder and refreshing

4.  Step 3 : Right click on the created Package and
select the option “New Attribute View”. Give a name
and a description and Choose ‘Finish’

6.  Step 4 : Attribute view will be opened in the HANA
studio editor. Choose "+" sign in "Data Foundation”

7.  Step 5 : Search for table "REGION" and choose it

8.  Step 6 : Add the columns from the REGION table to
output. Right click on the column and select "Add to
Output". Add all 3 columns REGION_ID,
REGION_NAME, SUB_REGION_NAME to the
output.
Once it is done, you will see the selected column in
right side pane

10.  Step 7 : Now choose ‘Semantics’. All 3 columns
appears under Column pane as attribute

11.  Step 8 : The system automatically defines each field
as attributes/measures. In our case, all are attributes.
Every attribute view must have at least one key
attribute. Check the key Box to assign the key

12.  Step 9 : Click on the Save & Activate button to
activate the view

message stating the activation status
