If you want to create your own data model within the Designer, you need to create a Service first. In the Service panel resides a folder Implementation where you can add your own data model to.

Go to the Implementation folder in the service panel of your service.

Interface

Interface

Interfaces can have sub-interfaces and sub-classes.

Class

Operation

Operations and parameters for interfaces are the same as for classes. The difference is that they have no implementation but only define the signature for the dependent classes to derive from.

Operation

Parameter

Parameter

Each element of the Implementation folder has a context menu and quick actions. The context menu contains options to create new elements to the selected element, and to edit the current element. Via the quick actions, you can access the most used menu items directly with a single click.

Package

Multiexcerpt include

SpaceWithExcerpt	INTERNAL
MultiExcerptName	packages
PageWithExcerpt	INTERNAL:_designer_excerpts

The quick actions of a package allow for the creation of packages, classes and interfaces.

Quick Action	Description
	Add another package within the existing package.
	Add a class to the package.
	Add an interface to the package.

The context menu of a package allows you to change the name of the package, and to create further elements.

Menu Item	Description
Add Package	Add another package within the existing package.
Add Class	Add a class to the package.
Add Interface	Add an interface to the package.
Edit Package	Change the package name.
Delete Package	Delete the package.
Copy Item	Copy the package to paste it elsewhere to the Implementation tree.
Cut Item	Cut the package to paste it elsewhere to the Implementation tree.
Paste Item	Paste the package elsewhere to the data model tree. Available if Copy Item or Cut Item option have been used before.

Package Message is a generated package that contains all classes that are related to the forms you have already created to your Forms folder. This package is locked - you cannot change the generated form classes.

Class

Multiexcerpt include

SpaceWithExcerpt	INTERNAL
MultiExcerptName	class
PageWithExcerpt	INTERNAL:_designer_excerpts
shouldDisplayInlineCommentsInIncludes	false

The quick actions of a class allow for the creation of properties as well as operations with different types of implementation.

Quick Action	Description
	Add a mapping operation to the class.
	Add an action script operation to the class.
	Add an activity operation to the class.
	Add an operation to the class. The implementation is to be defined later.
	Add a property to the class.

The context menu of a class allows you to change the name of the class, and to create further elements.

Menu Item	Description
Add Property	Add a property to the class.
Add Operation	Add an operation to the class.
Edit Class	Change the name of the class.
Delete Class	Delete the class.
Copy Item	Copy the class to paste it elsewhere to the data model tree.
Cut Item	Cut the class to paste it elsewhere to the data model tree.
Paste Item	Paste the class elsewhere to the data model tree. Available if Copy Item or Cut Item option have been used before.

Property

Multiexcerpt include

SpaceWithExcerpt	INTERNAL
MultiExcerptName	property
PageWithExcerpt	INTERNAL:_designer_excerpts

The context menu of a property allows you to change the name of the property. It is not possible to create further elements below a property.

Menu Item	Description
Edit Property	Change the name of the property.
Delete Property	Delete the property.
Copy Item	Copy the property to paste it elsewhere to the data model tree.
Cut Item	Cut the property to paste it elsewhere to the data model tree.

Operation

Multiexcerpt include

SpaceWithExcerpt	INTERNAL
MultiExcerptName	operation
PageWithExcerpt	INTERNAL:_designer_excerpts

The quick actions of an operation allow for the creation of parameters with different directions, and to jump to the implementation of the operation.

Quick Action	Description
	Add an input parameter to the operation.
	Add an output parameter to the operation.
	Add a return parameter to the operation.
	Open the implementation of the selected operation in a separate tab.

The context menu of an operation allows you to change the name of the operation, and to create further elements.

Menu Item	Description
Add Parameter	Add a parameter to the operation. See below for more information.
Create Implementation	You can choose between two different types of implementation for your class operations: Mapping Diagram: Go to Modeling Data Mapping for detailed information. Action Script: Go to Using Action Script for detailed information. Activity Diagram: Go to Modeling Activities for detailed information. Available if the operation has no implementation, yet.
Open Implementation	Open the implementation of the selected operation in a separate tab.
Edit Operation	Change the name of the operation.
Delete Operation	Delete the operation.
Copy Item	Copy the operation to paste it elsewhere to the data model tree.
Cut Item	Cut the operation to paste it elsewhere to the data model tree.
Paste Item	Paste the operation elsewhere to the data model tree. Available if Copy Item or Cut Item option have been used before.

Parameter

Multiexcerpt include

SpaceWithExcerpt	INTERNAL
MultiExcerptName	parameter
PageWithExcerpt	INTERNAL:_designer_excerpts

The context menu of a parameter allows you to change the name of the parameter as well as to change the order of parameters. It is not possible to create further elements below a parameter.

Option

Description

Edit Parameter

Change the name of the parameter.

Tip

Per default, parameters are created as input parameters. If you want to change the direction, select the parameter and change attribute Direction in the Attributes panel:

Move Parameter down

Change the order of parameters.

Move Parameter up

Delete Parameter

Delete the parameter.

Copy Item

Copy the parameter to paste it elsewhere to the data model tree.

Cut Item

Cut the parameter to paste it elsewhere to the data model tree.

Interface

Multiexcerpt include

SpaceWithExcerpt	INTERNAL
MultiExcerptName	interface
PageWithExcerpt	INTERNAL:_designer_excerpts
shouldDisplayInlineCommentsInIncludes	false

The quick action of an interface allows for the creation of operations.

Quick Action	Description
	Add an operation to the interface. Operations of interfaces have no implementation, they only describe the signature of the operation.

The Interface context menu allows you to edit your interface and to create further elements.

Option	Description
Add Class	Add a class or sub-class to the interface. Classes within interfaces can be nested.
Add Interface	Add another interface to the interface. Interfaces can be nested.
Add Operation	Add an operation to the interface. Operations of interfaces do not have an implementation but only define the signature (parameters and types).
Edit Interface	Change the name of the interface.
Delete Interface	Delete the interface.
Copy Item	Copy the interface to paste it elsewhere to the data model tree.
Cut Item	Cut the interface to paste it elsewhere to the data model tree.
Paste Item	Paste the interface elsewhere to the data model tree. Available when Copy Item or Cut Item option have been used before.
