).
Note: When you select inherit for a data type, it inherits the value from the default settings, whereas when you select override, you can override the default and add a different value.
Specifies the default data type for all columns. You can change the data type for a specific column in the Columns Editor. You can also select whether the data type is inherent or overridden.

Specifies whether you want to use the data type when you unify three or more entities.
Opens the Set Default Owner dialog where you can set a global default for all objects, or for individual objects. You enter an owner name, and can optionally reset the ownership for all objects when you click Set Owner For All Objects.
Important! Although you can quickly reset the ownership for all objects using this feature, you cannot undo this operation.
Default selections are set for the model and the Model Editor closes.
