Creating Actions Automatically

You can configure Design Studio to create actions automatically when you create new conceptual model entities. Actions that Design Studio creates automatically are considered mandatory.

To create actions automatically:

  1. In the Solution view Category field, select Functional Areas.

    Design Studio filters the Solution view to display Functional Area entities only.

  2. Double-click a Functional Area entity to open the entity in the Functional Area editor.

  3. Ensure that the This Functional Area Supports Actions option is selected.

  4. In the Action Prefix field, enter the naming convention that Design Studio uses when creating new actions of this action type.

  5. In the Supported Entity Types table, select the conceptual model entity for which Design Studio will automatically create actions when you create an entity of this type.

  6. In the Supported Entity Type Details table, select Mandatory.

  7. If you want the new action to inherit all of the data elements defined for the associated entity, select Extend Subject by Default.

  8. Click Save.

    When you create a new conceptual model entity, Design Studio will create a new action automatically, and associate the new action to the entity.
