Chapter 11 Linking and Synchronizing Models
The extended collection feature supports collections of objects from any type of model.
For more information on extended collections, see "Extended Collections (Profile)" in the Extending your Models with Profiles chapter of the Customizing and Extending PowerDesigner manual.
For example, you can define an extended collection in the entity metaclass of a CDM that shows processes associated with entities. This adds a new tab to the entity property sheet where you can select processes from the process models open in the workspace. When you add processes to an entity, shortcuts of the processes are automatically created in the current CDM.
The objects in an extended collection display the object to which they belong in the Extended Inverse Collection sub-tab of their property sheet's Dependencies tab.
The same information is displayed in the impact analysis dialog of an object added to an extended collection:
