Common features of view model components
To edit an element’s name:
Step 1 Open the element’s properties dialog box by double-clicking or by right-clicking and
choosing the Edit command.
Step 2 Type a new name in the Name field.
Step 3 Click OK to close the properties dialog box.
Element descriptions
You can annotate your model by adding descriptions to the elements it contains. This
can help make the model easier to understand, especially if multiple people work with
it. When you move your mouse over an element in the view model editor, Studio dis-
plays the element’s description in a tool tip. (If the element has an error, however, Stu-
dio displays the error in the tool tip instead of the description. See “Red borders:
Errors in your view model” on page 60.)
To change an element’s description:
Step 1 Open the element’s properties dialog box by double-clicking or by right-clicking and
choosing the Edit command.
Step 2 Click the Edit… button next to the description.
Step 3 Edit the description in the resulting Edit Description dialog.
Step 4 Click OK to close the Edit Description dialog.
Step 5 Click OK to close the properties dialog box.
