Relationships

Relationships

• Element field names inherited by entities via relationships are edited using the Maintain Entity Elements form.

• A Logical View Name may be specified for appropriate relationships.  It is optional if the entity's physical file name to which it belongs is up to six characters in length. It must be specified if the entity's physical file name is more than six characters in length. If it is not specified, the modeler will automatically create a logical view name, based on the entity's physical file name and a sequential two digit number.

• Relationships may be specified by using the "Specify Relationship…" option on the Edit pull-down menu or main toolbar.

• Relationships may be deleted via the Maintain Entity Elements dialog.

• You can choose whether or not relationships are displayed on the model diagram.
