Create Model Objects
In compliance with the principles of model creation, the following steps are executed whenever a new model object is created:
- Logical Object Definition
- Enter the model object record and the corresponding table- or view fields in the corresponding DataView system form and store the data in the DataView repository.
- Mapping of the Objects in the Database
- Create the table all the view (for entities only) in the database in accordance to the data stored in the DataView repository.
- Displaying the Objects on the Desktop
- Creating default masks to enter test data into the database tables and as starting point for subsequent creation of complex masks.
The following system forms are available to create and manage model objects in DataView:
- Entity Data form (can be directly opened via the toolbar)
- Entity Type form (can only be opened via Type Relation sub-list in Entity Data form)
- Relation Data form (can only be opened via Refine- or Aggregate Relation sub-list in Entity Data form)
- Link Data form (can be directly opened via the toolbar)
