General Modeling Enhancements |
| Cut/Copy/Paste |
|
You can
cut, copy, or paste objects and their child elements across
models. |
| Find Feature |
|
Use the find feature to quickly find keywords
or phrases in your models. |
| Ranges and Widths |
|
As a validation tool, Delta's models now support
character width and range requirements for elements. |
| Object Aliases |
|
The objects in your business object models can be given aliases. In a
model interface, these aliases are appended, within parentheses, to the
object name. In a map interface (assuming that the View|Show Object
Aliases command is activated), these aliases replace the "official" name
of the object.
|
| Object Instancing |
|
This feature lets you bind an object to specific
occurences of source data in EDI or XML models. This is especially helpful
when mapping repeating or hierarchical loop segments in EDI because it
eliminates the need for complex rule conditions. For example, instead of
writing rule conditions specifying that a particular instance of the
looping HL segment should only run when HL03="P", you can establish an
object "instance" from the properties of the
object. You can insert additional HL segments into your model and assign
each of them a qualifying instance. |
