Chapter 2 XML Model Basics


XML model property sheet Items tab

The Items tab lists the model's global objects (which have no parent symbol in the diagram, and are directly linked to the <schema> tag).

The following tools are available on this tab:

Tool Description

Add Element - Adds an element to the model

Add Group - Adds a group of elements to the model

Add Attribute - Adds an attribute to the model

Add Attribute Group - Adds a group of attributes to the model

Add Simple Type [XSD only]- Adds a simple type to the model.

Add Complex Type [XSD only]- Adds a complex type to the model.

Add Notation - Adds a notation to the model, to describe the format of non-XML data

Add Annotation [XSD only]- Adds an annotation to the model, to provide documentation or application information.

The list reflects the order in which global objects are declared in the schema. You can change the order of declaration by selecting an item in the list and using the arrowed buttons, at the bottom-left corner of the tab, to move it in the list

For more information on these items, see chapter Building an XML model.
