Design Designer-Added Procedures

Designer-added procedures are implementation-specific procedures that support user tasks or otherwise improve or simplify some characteristics of the system implementation.

Note: Take care when creating a designer-added procedure to avoid altering the results of analysis. You may be tempted to add a procedure that does not implement an elementary process but is still relevant to the business rather than to the user task or system. Resist this temptation.

The situation should be remedied by further analysis, which may result in the addition of an elementary process, and any consequent modification to the data model. The additional procedure can then be transformed from the elementary process in the same way as other procedures.
