Overview

The settings in this group allow you to create a configuration used to display a data model. Additionally, any saved graph configurations are stored here.

Configuration table

Each record in the Configuration table specifies options for displaying a visual representation of a data model.
Property Description
Name The name used by this configuration.
Graph type Determines whether this graph will be generated from an TIBCO EBX® data model (Schema), or from another data source (Custom).
Publication mode When the graph type is set to Schema, use this property to indicate whether the data model is embedded, or in a module. The Data model drop-down will then populate with available data models of the corresponding type.
Data model Specifies the data model the add-on uses to render the graph.
Data source Displays when graph type is set to Custom and must specify the fully qualified path to the Java class that implements this graph.
Display in dataset Determines whether this configuration is available when users display custom graphs from a dataset's Actions menu.
Templates Specifies the template applied to this configuration. Templates determine a graph's color and display options.
Enable table selection Determines whether users will have the option of selecting which tables display when generating this graph.

Templates table

You can use the Templates table to customize the look and feel of a data model graph.
Property
Description
Name
The name used by this configuration.
Table
Determines border, background, and text color for tables displayed in the graph.
Tooltip
Specifies the background and text color for tooltips.
Link
Sets the color for links between tables and for link labels.
Synchronization If a data model related to a saved graph has been updated, the add-on can indicate where and what type of changes were made. Updated graphs highlight new items in green, changed items in blue, and deleted items in red.
Highlight color
Determines the color of links and box borders when moused, or hovered over.
Display options
This group allows you to display/hide the following graph components:
  • Cardinality on links: Toggles display of link cardinality value.
  • Cardinality on fields: Toggles display of field cardinality value.
  • Labels on links: Toggles display of foreign key labels.
  • FK as fields: Toggles display of foreign keys as fields.
  • Hidden fields: Toggles display of fields that are set as hidden in the DMA.

Preferences group

The Preferences group stores information when users save a graph layout. Note that the descriptions for this group are for informational purposes only as records are automatically updated by the add-on after saving a graph. This group includes the Saved graph table described in the following section.

Saved graph table

Each record in this table represent a graph that has been saved by a user.
Property Description
Name The name used by this saved graph configuration.
Data model The data model represented by this graph.
User profile The user profile that created this graph.
Publication mode Specifies whether the graph was generated from an embedded data model or one from a module.
External model List of additional data models displayed in this graph.
Graph configuration The configuration used for this graph.
Shared Policy List of users or roles that can interact with this graph.
Description The saved graph's description. Users can provide a description when sharing a graph.
