In later versions of Clarify, there is a new concept called Flexible Attributes. If a table (such as the case table) is marked to allow flexible attributes (using the ALLOW_FLEX attribute in Clarify syntax, or the areFlexibleAttributesAllowed attribute in Dovetail SchemaEditor syntax), then Clarify tools will automatically create a new "hidden" table named fa_case, along with relations from table_fa_case to table_case. Clarify tools hide these fa_* tables and relations, and does not include them in their schema file.
Dovetail SchemaEditor will export these fa_* tables from the database when exporting the schema, and they will appear just as other tables do. However, Dovetail SchemaEditor will not automatically create these tables or relations for you if you simply mark a table to allow flexible attributes. If you need to allow flexible attributes for a table, you should create the fa_ table and its associated relations. If you need assistance with this, please contact Dovetail Software.
