Modeling Facilities

General characteristics of this modeler are specified below.

New Entity

 

The modeler user defines a new entity, which after being published is available to be used.

 

It can be modeled simultaneously:

 

Data model layer
Involves modeling all the fields with associated data types, field identifier, 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 not display, for fields and containers and the latter can be displayed or not.

 

When creating the entity, a panel opens up that allows defining some of the general properties and selecting a predefined template that is displayed in the graphic modeling area upon starting the entity modeler. It is also possible to start the entity modeler without selecting a template.
