Model Objects in the Tree View

As mentioned earlier, you create modeling objects using the various diagrams in the Toolset.

Follow these steps:

1. Select the Model tab on the Tree Control.

   

   Note: In addition to the component objects already copied into the model, CA Gen adds a base set of objects to every new model.

2. In the Tree Control, right-click the EGOLF_SERVICES subject area (the entry with the manila folder icon next to it) and then select Add from the pop-up menu.

   

In addition to the menus in the Menu Bar at the top of the Toolset, pop-up menus are available by right-clicking an object in the Tree Control or from within any of the diagrams. Use pop-up menus as a shortcut instead of using the main Menu Bar.

From the EGOLF_SERVICES pop-up menu, we can:

• Add additional Subject Areas or Entity Types.
• Review the properties of the selected subject area.
• Launch the Data Model diagram.

We will learn about all of these tasks in later modules. The pop-up menu items will vary depending on the object selected, and can be customized to your individual preferences.
