Name Your Model

When you create a new data model, you should also create a name, or title, for the model. This name is used throughout the Design Layer features to identify the model by name. If you do not change it, by default “model_n” displays for all models. For example, the first model is named “model_1”, the second model is named “model_2”, and so on.

To name your model

1. Click Model Properties on the Model menu.

   The Model Editor opens.

2. Enter the name you want to give the model on the General tab. You can also add the author's name in the Author field.
3. Click Close.

   The information you entered is saved and the Model Editor closes.

Note: You can also enable Modeling Features using the Model Editor.
