Refactoring Entities and Data Elements
Design Studio enables you to propagate data model changes across a solution without sacrificing model integrity. Using the Refactoring menu, Design Studio enables you to rename and change the location of entities and data elements. Also, you can create similar data entities, modular and reusable data structures, and so forth. When you refactor entities and data elements, Design Studio updates all references to the entity or data element.
Note:
Close editors prior to refactoring. Editors that remain open during refactoring may display incorrect data or may display data marked with errors. Restart Design Studio to correct these issues.
