Abstract
A system displays a tree of class icons in a model region. While displaying the tree, the system detects a first portion of an input to place a candidate class icon in the model region. In response, the system (i) identifies a neighboring class icon, in the tree of class icons, that is nearest to the candidate class icon, where the neighboring class icon is circumscribed by a revealer region, and (ii) when the location of the candidate class icon is outside the revealer region, displaying a tentative connector, between the candidate class icon and the neighboring class icon. The system detects a second portion of the user input. In response to the detection, the system presents options for user selection of JOIN fields, including displaying a first data field selection list for the candidate class icon and a second data field selection list for the neighboring class icon.
