Model Repository (Magic xpa 2.x)
You can access the Model repository by selecting Models from the Project menu, pressing Shift+F1, or clicking Models in the Navigator pane.
The Model repository displays the user-defined models for each object class.
You can select more than one model of the same object class. The Model property sheet will display property values that are shared for each selected model.
The Model repository includes the following columns:
|
|
|
|
#
|
This read-only column contains an automatically generated sequential number used by Magic xpa as a model identifier.
|
|
Name
|
This column describes the model. Give meaningful names to make it easier to use and maintain the models.
|
|
Class
|
You can define a model by class. Model Classes are the objects in Magic xpa that can be assigned to a model. Each model class has a set of attributes. For a list of classes, click here.

Attribute
|
This column lets you select the type of objects that belong to the selected class. For example, if the selected class is Field, you can select one of Magic xpa's variable attributes, such as Numeric, Alpha, and Date. See also Attribute - Data Items.

Folder
|
Displays the name of the folder in which the model entry is located. You can create a folder by highlighting the Models icon on the Navigation pane and clicking F4. Folders let you group model entries in the repository. For more information, see Folders.

Public Name
