Tabular Entry Mode Concepts
Tabular entry diagram configuration uses concepts presented in the following MetaModel.
Configurations of a diagram type are carried by a DiagramTypeParam associated with multiple DiagTabDefinitions.
DiagTabDefinitions apply to specific profiles. The DiagTabDefinition description is based on the following concepts:
• DiagTabType: used for diagrams whose presentation is calculated by a macro
• DiagTabList: used to describe the fields of a tabular entry diagram
• MetaTree and MetaList: used to describe the fields of a tree tabular entry diagram
To specify that a diagram can be edited with tabular entry mode, proceed as follows:
1. Create a DiagTabDefinition and link it to a diagram type
2. Connect the dedicated profiles, see Defining the Authorized Profiles
3. Create the presentation macro, see Using the Layout Macros
4. Depending on the type of diagram, specify the fields corresponding to:
• a tabular entry diagram, see Specifying a Tabular Entry Structure;
• a tree tabular entry diagram, see Specifying a tree entry structure.
