Option | Description |
---|---|
General tab | You can edit the name, label, and abbreviation and view the
owner. If namespaces are enabled for the parent model, you can change the namespace of the relationship. The name of elements in logical models can be scoped by the owning namespace of the element. When namespaces are enabled in the parent package or model, the namespace value contains the model file name by default. You can also specify whether the relationship is Persistent. When you specify that a relationship is persistent, the relationship is carried over to the physical data model when you transform from the logical data model to the physical data model. Non-persistent relationships are not transformed into tables in the target physical data model. |
Details tab | Specify the child entity and the parent entity of the relationship, and specify the details of the relationship. |
Type tab | Specify a relationship type, its cardinality, and whether the relationship is optional or mandatory. |
Referential Integrity tab | Referential integrity is the logical dependency of a foreign
key on a primary key. The integrity of a row that contains a foreign
key depends on the integrity of the row that it references—the row
that contains the matching primary key. Use this tab to specify the referential integrity of the relationship. |
Documentation tab | You can provide documentation. |
Annotation tab | You can add or delete properties and edit their values. |
Appearance tab | Modify the appearance of the relationships. You can change the line width and style, and specify the arrow style for the relationship connector. |
Advanced tab | You can add or delete properties and edit their values. |
