The Entities Tab

The Entities tab includes a list of each entity in your model along with the number of times that entity occurs in the model.

If you click the plus sign next to an entity, the information described below will appear for that entity. If you click the plus sign next to "All," the information described below will appear for all entities.

  • The From Relationships tab shows information for relationships in your model where the entity type you have selected is in a "from," or source, position. In this tab, the From column will always be the entity whose data you are viewing. Information is then organized by Type, which depicts the relationship between the From and To entities. In the example above the type represents the relationship between two persons. The To column includes entity types that are in the "to," or target, position in the relationship. In the example above, we are looking at Person entities coming into other Person entities. This tab also provides the Count for each relationship type, indicating how many occurrences there are of that relationship type for the entity whose data you are viewing. In our example, there are six incidents of persons who provided money to another person and two incidents of a person being a father to another person.
  • The To Relationships tab shows information for relationships in your model where the entity type you have selected is in the "to," or target, position. The From column includes entity types that are in the "from," or source, position in the relationship. As with the previous tab, information is then organized by Type. In this tab, the To column will always be the entity whose data you are viewing. The Count column is the same as described for the previous tab.
  • The Properties tab shows information for all the properties associated with the entity whose data you are viewing. This tab also shows the Type of each property as well as the Count, which represents the number of occurrences there are of each property for the entity whose data you are viewing. Any given entity may not include every single property listed, but at least one entity will contain each property listed.
