Creating an instance

You create an instance from the Design explorer view of the Design perspective.

To create an instance, you must:
  1. Open a location (represented by open location) in the Design explorer view and right-click on the location line, on an entity line or on an instance line to display a popup menu.
  2. In this menu, select New, and the entity for which you want to create an instance (ex: Pac Data Element or Pac Program.
  3. Fill in the fields of the creation wizard which opens up. If you select the Open editor on finish check box, the instance editor will then open up automatically on the Overview tab. From there, you will then be able to access the other tabs of the editor and specify all the characteristics of the instance.
  4. Click Finish. The new instance will then be displayed under the entity branch in the Repository, alphabetically sorted among the instances already present.
