View the entities and attributes in the build model

  1. To open the build model view, go to View | Build Model.



  2. The left hand pane in the build model shows the entities in the rulebase.



  3. To view the attributes that belong to a particular entity, select the entity in the left hand pane. The right hand pane will show the attributes (ID, data type and text) for the selected entity.

 

(Attributes which do not operate at the entity level are Global.)

 

You can also view the relationships for a particular entity by selecting the entity in the left hand pane, and then selecting the Relationships tab in the right hand pane. The relationships (text, target, type and reverse text) for the selected entity will be shown.

Find where an attribute is used in the rulebase

To find where attributes are used in the rulebase, right-click on the attribute in the build model and select Find Attribute Usage.

The Attribute Usage view will open displaying all rule documents, source files, properties files, screens and flows on which the attribute appears:
