Adding Entities to a New Model From the Toolbox

This feature allows you to add entities to a new model you are creating using the Relationship Analysis Client Toolbox.

1. From the Model ribbon on the Home tab, click New.
2. Select Model.
3. If you want your new model to use an existing model's metadata, check the Copy metadata from model box and select the model whose metadata you want to use.
4. Click OK.
5. From the Entities tab in the Toolbox, drag the New icon onto the model canvas. The Add Entity dialog box appears.
   Note: If this is not the first entity you are adding to the model, you may have multiple entity icons to choose from in the Toolbox.
6. Enter a Label for the new entity. This label is the name of the entity you are creating, such as "BobSmith" or "AlliedInsurance".
7. Enter the Type. This is the type of entity you are creating, such as "Person" or "FirmName".
   Note: If this is not the first entity you are adding to the model, you can pick from an existing type or enter a new type.
8. Add Properties to the entity by completing the Name, Type, and Value fields. For example, if you were building a model of insurance data, you might include ZIP Code information for providers. In that case, you would enter "ZIP" as the name of the property, followed by "String" as the type, and "78232" as the value.
   Note: The Type field will automatically populate when you enter a name, but you can select another type from the drop-down box if necessary.
9. Click Add, then OK. The new entity appears.
10. Repeat steps 3-7 to add your remaining entities.
11. Click Save and enter the name of your new model in the Save As dialog box.
