Adding objects to a logical data model from the Data Project Explorer

Use the menu actions in the Data Project Explorer to add logical data objects to a logical data model.
Prerequisite: Before you add data objects to a logical data model, you must open a logical data model in the logical data model editor.

You can add data objects, dependencies, and relationships to a logical data model from the Data Project Explorer, but you cannot add generalizations. To add generalizations to a logical data model, use a data diagram.

To add objects to a logical data model from the Data Project Explorer:

  1. Right-click a model object in a logical data model, and click Add Data Object.
  2. Select an object from the menu. The objects that are available in the menu change depending on which model object you selected. For example, if you right-click a package, you can add an entity, an atomic domain, another package, or a dependency. If you right-click any object, you can add a URL that can be used to annotate the object with additional information. The new object is displayed in the Data Project Explorer under the object that you originally selected.
  3. Type a name for the new object in the Data Project Explorer.
  4. Save the logical data model.
