Meta attribute list

You may specify the order of meta-attributes calculation on the list of meta-attributes through a simple drag-drop system. 

To streamline this process and examine meta attributes rapidly, use the SQL preview on the meta attributes list.

Remember: specifying the order is necessary, as one meta attribute can be part of the definition of another. Having a defined order helps avoid circular dependencies.
