Using Your Development Environment › Setting Up the User Environment

Setting Up the User Environment

When you create a model, you create a template for your user environment. This template is a copy of the null model. Before you can begin the tasks involved in building an application, you need to change aspects of this model so that it meets the requirements and standards of your development environment. In addition, you may need to perform other tasks that prepare your environment. This section discusses some of these tasks:

• Controlling how names are allocated at both the system and the model level
• Customizing the default device design
• Setting up common routines and utilities

Every user in a model has an associated model profile that can be modified to tailor the development environment. Additional capabilities are available using CA Xtras Change Management (CM).
