Customised User Interface
Guided modelling allows a Reference model to be applied to a package, so that all new modelling in that package meets the Reference model standards.
The Element attributes that are required can be defined and stored in the Reference model, as well as the allowed values for some of those fields. These fields are included in a simplified element properties window, making it obvious which fields can, or must be completed.
Edit Element Attributes
Selected element fields can be added, deleted and ordered to create a UI that meets your modelling needs. Note these customisations are specific to each Reference Model, but can be shared.
