Create a model branch
Model branches allow you to maintain several parallel versions of the model.
Branching a model edition enables restarting and modifying a closed edition of a model. Branching creates a new branch based on a given edition, and opens a first edition of this branch.
Create a new branch
It is only possible to branch from closed model editions. |
When creating a model, a first branch named <model_name>_root is created with the first model edition.
|
To create a new branch:
-
In the Management view, expand the Model Administration node, then expand the model and the model branch containing the edition that you want to branch from.
-
Right-click the closed edition from which you want to branch from and select Create Model Branch From this Edition. The Create New Model Branch wizard opens.
-
In the Create New Model Branch wizard, check the Auto Fill option and then enter the following values:
-
Name: Internal name of the object.
-
Label: User-friendly label for this object. Note that as the Auto Fill box is checked, the Label is automatically filled in. Modifying this label is optional.
-
-
In the Description field, optionally enter a description for the Model Branch.
-
Click Finish to close the wizard.
-
In the Model Branch Created dialog, click Yes to open the first edition of this new branch.

The newly created edition opens in the Model Design view.
