Creating an entity
To create an entity:
1. In the data diagram insert toolbar, click the Entity button
2. Click in the diagram.
The Add Entity (DM) dialog box opens.
3. Enter the entity Name.
*When the OK or Create buttons are grayed, this is because the requirements for the dialog box in which they appear have not been completed.
4. Click Add.
The entity appears in the diagram.
*You can create several entities successively without having to click the toolbar each time. To do this, double-click the Entity button. To return to normal mode, press <Esc>, or click on another button in the toolbar such as the arrow.
