Hi Marina
I have looked at your example and it seems that it is completely
satisfied through the 'reagents' dataset ei, the default dataset
which you get if you choose 'reagents' as your main table. It seems
however that it would require that you use some of the dimension
filters so you will have to insert them manually during MEditor
configuration step.

The thing to do now would be to come up with more query examples
and check if they they are satisfied through your dataset(s) that you design
with MBuilder

or alternatively

just to create one - let's say "reagents" using MBuilder,
pop it into your database, configure it with MartEditor and connect to
it with the website you just installed. You should have a pretty good
feel of how the system works by doing that and you'll be able to design
more datasets or improve existing ones. The great thing about using
MBuilder is that you don't have to  worry about trying different options
as it does not cost you much to create new datasets and modify exisiting ones :)


please drop us a line if you need more info,
