Class

From the ‘Schema Editor,’ you can customize the current set of classes defined in your project’s database schema.

Note, that in order to perform each of the customization tasks outlined below, it is necessary to first have “Classes” highlighted in the ‘Schema’ tab of the left sidebar. This toggles the view to display a list of the currently defined schema-based classes.

Adding a New Class

1. Within the ‘Schema Editor,’ ensure “Classes” is highlighted in the left sidebar.
2. Click the blue ‘New Class’ button located on the toolbar.
   
   
   
   
3. The view will update to display a ‘Create New Class’ form. Here you can quickly type in the name, description, and other attributes of your new class. There is also an option for your new Class to be ‘Abstract’ which serves as a blueprint for child classes.  This means that entities cannot be this exact class but the new class created will inherit relationships and attributes if they are assigned as a child of a class.
   
   
   
   
4. When you have finished entering information, click the ‘Save’ button located on the toolbar to persist your changes to your project’s database schema.

Editing an Existing Class

   Note that the ‘Schema Editor’ only allows users to edit attributes of user-defined classes added to the default schema. All classes already included in the schema by default are locked.
4. Click the ‘Save’ button located on the toolbar to persist your changes to your project’s database schema.

Hiding a Class
