3.12 Adding Model Notes

The notes facility for models is merely a documentation tool for use when constructing a data model. Unlike element notes, which are transformed into field help text when the element is built, model notes are not carried through from the model to the repository.

To maintain a model's notes:

• right-click on an empty part of the diagram and select the Notes… option from the menu,

• ensure that no diagram objects are selected and choose the Notes… option from the Edit menu, or

• ensure that no diagram objects are selected and  click the button on the toolbar.

The Maintain Model Notes dialog is displayed:

The standard LANSA special help text characters may be used in the notes. For example, you can display help text underlined, highlighted and so on.

Once the notes have been maintained, press the OK button to update them. If you do not wish the notes to be updated, press the Cancel button.
