Use the New Glossary Model wizard to create a new glossary model
to use as a naming standard.
Before you create a glossary model, you must create a data design
project.
You store glossary models in data design projects. You can store
a glossary model in one project, then reference it in that project or other
projects as a naming standard model. To use a glossary model as the naming
standard for a data design project, you add the glossary model to the project
properties.
To
create a glossary model:
- Click from the main menu. The New Glossary Model File wizard opens.
- Complete the steps of the wizard.
You can create
a blank glossary model, or you can use one of the supplied templates. If you
have previously created a glossary model template that you want to use as
the basis for this glossary model, you can enable the template for selection
by specifying the location of the template file in the Template
folder field.
You can choose to add the glossary model to
the project properties as the naming standard for that project. When you select
this option, the glossary model is used during model analysis when naming
standards are checked. Glossary model elements are also available for content
assist during object modification in the Properties view. If
you do not select this option, you can associate the glossary model with the
project later.
- Click Finish
The glossary model is displayed in the Data Project Explorer in the Data
Models folder under the data design project that you specified.
If you selected the option to add the model to the project properties, the
model is also displayed on the Naming Standard page
in the Properties view for the project.
