Adding Objects to a Catalogue
To add objects visible within the workspace, simply right-click on them and select Save to catalogue. Objects that do not appear in the workspace, such as data objects, can be added in the Object Directory.
To add objects to a catalogue:
- Select one or more objects using the Object Directory or by selecting them in the workspace.
-
Right-click and select
Save to catalogue.
The ‘Save to catalogue’ dialog is displayed.
- From the box labelled ‘Catalogue’, select a catalogue from the drop-down list (this list includes your 'Default Catalogue’.
- If you would like to give the saved object a different name to the one used in the model, enter it in the ‘Name’ box.
- If you would like to add a description of the saved object, do so in the ‘Description’ box.
-
Click
OK to save the object to the catalogue.
If you selected several objects to save, you will need to repeat steps 4 to 7 for each of them.
- Click OK to close the ‘Save to catalogue’ dialog.
A note on duplicate objects
If an object you are trying to save to a catalogue is already in the catalogue (all objects are automatically added to the Default Catalogue by the way), the 'Name Clash' dialog box is displayed, where you can decide how to treat the object. Think of it as copying and pasting the object into the catalogue.
