Use

The inverse hierarchy shows the data models to which a selected entity type is assigned.

Process

Determining the assignment of an entity type to data models

  1. Enter the name of the Entity Type for which you wish to display the assignment to data models in the Modeling Object field of the Data Modeler: Initial Screen.

  2. Select Entity Type under Selection.

  3. Click on Display or Change.

  4. Choose Start of the navigation path Utilities Next navigation step Inverse Hierarchy End of the navigation path in the screen Display (or Change) Entity Type: Definition. The screen Inverse Hierarchy: Entity Type ENTITY TYPE NAME appears.

The Inverse Hierarchy: Entity Type ENTITY TYPE NAME screen shows the data model from which you branched to the inverse hierarchy as the root. Below this, the "next highest" level is displayed, that is, the data model(s) that are directly above the entity type. Therefore, the "higher" an object is in the hierarchy, the "lower" it is shown here.

To display the color legend for this display, choose Start of the navigation path Utilities Next navigation step Color Legend End of the navigation path.

You can change the display of the inverse hierarchy.

Note

You can also call a general where-used list for modeling objects by choosing Start of the navigation path Utilities Next navigation step Where-Used List End of the navigation path.
