Editing Model Classes 

The Web Dynpro tools provide various functions for working with the model classes after a Web Dynpro model import. Possible operations depend on the type of the model to be processed. There is a set of operations available for the corresponding model type. You can make changes to the properties of a Web Dynpro model as follows:

Editing interfaces, methods, relations, and properties of a model class.

       1.      The classes are listed in the Web Dynpro Explorer view underneath the node hierarchy Models ® <myModel> ® Model Classes. Place the cursor on the model class you wish to change and choose the context menu entry Edit.

       2.      Four tab pages are displayed in the right-hand screen area. Activate one of these by clicking the tab page name. The following table displays the functions for each tab page:

Model Class Tab Page	Tab Functions (partially optional, depending on model type)
Overview	·        Select superclass (optional) ·        View interfaces of model class (optional) ·        Create interfaces (optional)

       3.      In the Web Dynpro Explorer view, you can call other functions through the context menu for the model class.

A wizard is available for renaming a model class and simultaneous allocation to a new package.
