Chapter 3 Projects and Framework Matrices

Example: Specifying a List action

The List action lets a framework matrix user (add or) create one or more model object lists of the specified kind in the cell. The list will be displayed in the Browser under the appropriate model node and as a document in the cell to which it has been attached.

In the following example, we will specify an action that requires the user to create at least one list of PDM clusters.

To require the creation of at least one list of PDM clusters in a physical diagram:

1. Double-click a framework matrix cell to open its property sheet, and click the Actions tab.
2. Click the Add a Row tool to create a new action, and double-click it to open its property sheet.
3. On the General tab, enter "List of PDM clusters " in the Name Field.
4. Select the Mandatory check box to specify that at least one list of PDM clusters must be attached to the cell.
5. Click the Detail tab, and specify the following properties in the fields (see Framework matrix action property sheet Detail tab):

   Property	Select or enter
   Type	List
   Default document name	List of clusters
   Model type	Physical Data Model
   Document template	Leave blank
   Model language	ORACLE Version 9i
   Extended model definition	<none>
   Object type	ExtendedObject
   Object stereotype	Cluster

   
   
6. Click OK to close the action and cell property sheets and return to the framework matrix.
   
   The List action is now available for use by framework matrix users (see Attaching a document to a framework matrix cell).
