Creating a Data Element

If a Data Element does not already exist in the Database, you can create it from the Design explorer view of the Design perspective.

To create a Data Element:
  1. Open the Design explorer view of the Design perspective.
  2. On an open location (represented by a open location), click on the location line, on an entity line or on an instance line and right-click to display the popup menu. In this menu, select New > Pac Data Element.
  3. Fill in the fields of the creation wizard which opens up.
  4. If you check the Open editor on finish checkbox, the instance editor will then be open up automatically on the Overview tab. From there, you will then be able to specify the other characteristics of the instance.
  5. Click Finish.
