1. A method for performing guided analysis using multi-fact object models, comprising:
at computing device having a display, one or more processors and memory storing one or more programs configured for execution by the one or more processors:
displaying, in a schema region of a user interface, a plurality of data field icons corresponding to a plurality of data fields, each of the data fields associated with a respective object of a plurality of objects in an object model;
in response to receiving (i) user selection of a first data field icon of the plurality of data field icons in the schema region and (ii) placement of the first data field icon in a shelf region of the user interface, wherein the first data field icon corresponds to a first data field that is associated with a first object of the plurality of objects of the object model:
generating and displaying a first data visualization in the user interface; and
updating a visual characteristic of a subset of the plurality of data field icons that are displayed in the schema region of the user interface from a first visual characteristic to a second visual characteristic, wherein:
each data field icon in the subset of data field icons is associated with a second object of the plurality of objects, distinct from the first object; and
the data field icons in the subset are user-selectable independently of the first visual characteristic or the second visual characteristic.
