Publishing the model to a Web

In this exercise, you publish the Invoice.ldm data model to a Web. You create an HTML version of the model that can be opened in a browser so that you can more easily communicate information about the model to other team members.
To publish the model to a Web:
  1. Select the Invoice.ldm file in the Data Project Explorer.
  2. Click Publish > Web from the main menu.
  3. In the window that opens, keep the default options except for the following fields:
    • Select the Automatically display published output check box.
    • Click the Browse button next to the Select folder to publish to field to specify a local directory.
    Screen capture showing the Publish to Web window, as described.
  4. Click OK. The published Web is created and displayed in your default browser. Now you can navigate through the model in the browser.
  5. Click Invoice and Shipment on the overview page of the Web to display the home page of the published model.
  6. Click All Elements and browse the information.

    For example, click myOverview to open the overview diagram that you created in the last exercise, and then click one of the embedded diagrams to open it in the browser.

    Screen capture showing the model in the browser, as described.
