Refactoring Preferences Page

Use the Refactoring Preferences page to override the settings used configure the behavior of Design Studio when refactoring entities and data elements.

For each refactoring menu action, select one of the following values:

Field	Use
Prompt	Select to instruct Design Studio to alert you when refactoring data elements associated with entities and references. You can do one of the following: Make the entity or reference writable and then complete the refactoring action. Leave the entity or reference as read-only, and cancel the refactoring action.
Always	Select to instruct Design Studio to automatically perform refactoring actions against data elements even when the elements are associated with read-only entities. In this scenario, Design Studio automatically changes associated read-only entities to writable. Design Studio prompts you before making read-only references writable.
Never	Select to prevent users from refactoring data elements associated with references (defined as writable or read-only) or read-only entities.
