Creating Data Models
To create a new data model, proceed as follows:
...
1. On the Data Modeler: Initial Screen enter a unique name for the new entity type in the entry field Modeling object.
Naming convention:
Data model names may only contain alphanumeric characters and underscores.
2. Choose Data model under Selection.
3. Choose Create.
4. Specify the attributes for the data model on the screen Create Data Model: Definition.

· Graphics information:
You can define here the color you want your data model to have in the graphics. To display a list of available colors, choose F4.
· References
· Definition:
You can access the text editor by clicking Editor or by double-clicking the definition text. You can enter more detailed definitions here.
5. Save the data model and make the relevant entries in the dialog box Maintain Object Catalog Entry (under Development class or as Local object) and in the dialog box of the Workbench Organizer.
If you want to insert the data model into the hierarchy and/or want to assign the relevant entity types/data models, you must access the hierarchy.
To assign the new data model to another data model, you have to access the corresponding data model of the higher level. You can access the hierarchy from the definition of the higher-level data model and insert the new data model in this model.
To access the screen Change Data Model: Hierarchy, choose Hierarchy.
