What is an InfoProvider?
An InfoProvider is an object for which queries can be created or executed in BEx. They are arranged into hierarchical InfoAreas on the Administrator Workbench. InfoProviders that physically contain data, are also called data targets. They include InfoCubes, ODS Objects and InfoObjects

Function
Defines a new query Opens an existing query Saves a new or modified query Saves a query under a new technical name After you define and save a query, use this function to display it in the SAP Business Explorer Web Analyzer and analyze the data
Performs a validity check on your query Choose this function to change the description of the query or define the settings for the result position, display options, numeric display, zero display, and key date of the query

Function
Displays the content of the InfoProvider upon which the query is based; from here you can include objects in the query by using drag and drop. Shows the Filter screen area. You specify the filter values of the query here. Shows the Rows/Columns screen area. Here you specify the free character-istics for navigating in the query and the contents of the rows/columns. You can define formulas and selection conditions explicitly for cells in queries with two structures. This function is only available for queries with two structures.
Conditions
You can define conditions for a query. You can specify threshold value conditions for the key figure values for every characteristic. For example, you can specify all sales figures above or below a certain threshold value. In the query, the selected characteristics are displayed with the restricted key figures.
Exceptions
You can define exceptions for a query. Exceptions, deviations in key figure values that you define, are displayed in color in the query view. This allows you to see at a glance whether results deviate from the expected results.
SAP BW 7.0
Function
Shows the Properties screen area. The content of the Properties screen area automatically adjusts itself. Depending on the object that you select, the properties appear as context sensitive.
Tasks
Provides an overview of the functions and options available to you while you are working in the query. Displays system messages, check messages, warnings, and other information. From the context menu of the message, you can navigate to the actual error, or display information about the error.
Messages
Where-Used List
When you choose Query Where-Used List, the Query Designer displays the objects (workbook, Web template, report, or broadcast setting) in which this query is used.
Documents
When you select the Explain Error Message function, the system message texts are displayed here. Shows or hides the technical names of the query components (InfoObjects, structures, variables, and so on).

Navigational Attributes
The attributes can be stored centrally in the characteristic master data Easy to implement in the system without changing the dimensions in the InfoCube Navigation attributes are handled in the query in the same way as characteristics
