Creating Capacity Types

You create capacity types to define the kind of capacity that an entity provides or consumes.

To create capacity types:

1. From the Studio menu, select New, then select Inventory, then select Resources, then select Capacity Type.

   The Model Entity Wizard appears. An icon for the specification type appears in the upper-right corner.

2. In the Project field, select the name of the project to which the new capacity type should be added.

3. In the Name field, enter a name for the capacity type.

   This is the name that will appear in UIM.

4. (Optional) Select a location.

   By default, Design Studio saves the entity to your default workspace location. You can enter a folder name in the Folder field or select a location different from the system-provided default. To select a different location:

   1. Click the Folder field Browse button.

   2. Navigate to the directory in which to save the entity.

   3. Click OK.

5. Click Finish.

   Design Studio creates the capacity type and displays the information in Capacity Type editor.
