    You can type strings and wildcard characters in the Filter box to view subsets of the tables in the diagram. For more information about the Find Table dialog box, see Find Table Dialog Box (Data Source View Designer) (SSAS).

    After you click OK, the table, view or named query you selected is centered in the Diagram pane and appears as the selected object in the Diagram pane.
