Working with the graphical data model designer

You can design a data model from scratch using a graphical designer which is implemented by the Design tab in the data model editor.

If needed, you can switch to the default data model editor at any time to make changes which will be synchronized immediately in the graphical designer.

The editor also enables you to switch to the XML schema source by clicking the Schema Source tab. After clicking the Schema Source tab at the bottom of the editor, you can create the data model directly in the schema source, that is, an XML schema document.

The following scenario shows how to design the data model DStar from scratch using the graphical designer.

Prerequisite: You have just created a new data model DStar.
