Modeling Facilities
General characteristics of this modeler are specified below.
New Entity
The modeler user defines a new entity, which is available for use after being published.
It can be modeled simultaneously:
•Data model layer
Involves modeling all the fields with associated data types, identifier field, fields used as filters in searches, field data lengths, behavior, and other validations related to business rules.
•Entity display layer
As its name implies, it is entirely related to the visual aspect of the entity. This implies having control and decision-making regarding the arrangement, order, and width of different fields and containers, interactive buttons, titles, labels, and informative messages, among other topics. There is also the option to display or hide fields and containers and the latter can be seen expanded or not.
When creating the entity, a panel opens up that allows defining some of the general properties and selecting a predefined template, which is displayed in the graphic modeling area when the entity modeler starts. It is also possible to start the entity modeler without selecting a template.
