When a new smart model is built, it produces a database and a data model. The details and instructions for the data model are stored in a file (called a model definition fine) which is accessible from the content management system. To edit a smart model you must open the model's definition file from its folder location.
By default, definition files for smart models are stored in the My Content folder of the model builder. Navigate to the My Content folder and find the required definition file; these files are denoted by a yellow model icon. Click on the relevant file to open and edit it.

Model Modules
The file will be opened in the Model Pro app, where you can edit it from four modules:
Master Flow
Only users belonging to a Profile that has permissions to the Master Flow (green highlight above) will have access to it. The Master Flow is an advanced toolset used to perform complex data cleansing and manipulation.
For more information, see Master Flow.
Data Flow
The Data Flow view (orange arrow above) is where you can connect to a data source, manipulate the data set as required, and load it into a destination.
For more information, seeData Flow.
Data Model
The Data Model view (yellow arrow above) is where you can define relationships between the model's tables, define measure columns, construct hierarchies, and more.
For more information, see Data Model.
Security
The Security view (blue arrow above) is where you can set security permissions for the data model by selecting which roles will have read or write access the database, the data model, or both. Users belonging to a role with read access to the model will be able to open it in Discover; those belonging to a role with write access will be able to edit the model.
For more information, see Security.
Save and Reprocess the Model
After editing the data model, be sure to save changes and reprocess the model. Reprocessing ensures that the model is rebuilt, so it will reflect any changes or edits made to the definition file.
