Logical Data Modeling Options
Formalisms
You can model logical data using two formalisms:
• the data package, to build class diagrams (UML notation)
• the data model, for data diagrams (standard notations, IDEF1X, I.E, Merise)
To display one of the formalisms:
1. On the desktop, click Main Menu > Settings > Options.
2. In the options navigation tree, expand the HOPEX Solutions > Data-related Common Features folders.
3. Click Data Formalism.
4. In the right part of the window pane select the formalism(s) that you want to display.
5. Click OK.
The folders corresponding to the packages and data models appear in the Architecture navigation pane.
Notations
You have access to a standard data model notation, selected by default. To display another notation (DEF1X, I.E ou Merise):
1. On the desktop, click Main Menu > Settings > Options.
2. In the options navigation tree, expand the HOPEX Solutions > Data-related Common Features folder.
3. Click Data Notation.
4. In the right part of the window, select the notations that you want to display.
5. Click OK.
