There are multiple ways to create a group in a model version. You can create a new empty group, or a new group containing a selected entity and entities related to it. See the model conversion rule "Create group" to programmatically create a group.

Adding a New Empty Group to a Model Version

To add a new empty group to a model version...

  1. Right-click on the version number and choose  Groups>Add group.
  2. In the Create group dialog, enter the name of the group and click OK.

    The group is displayed within Version 1.

Adding a Table to a New Group from the Diagram

To add a table to a new group from a diagram...

  1. Right-click on a table in the diagram and choose  Group>Add to new group.
  2. On the Add to new group dialog, Enter the Group name and select the Hop limit and Table limit from the drop-down list and click OK. The default for the hop limit is 1. This will add the table you have selected, as well as any tables joined directly to the selected table.


    Note

    • The Hop limit value sets the maximum number of entity levels contained in the group, e.g. a value of 2 will add two additional layers of associated tables to the selected table.
    • The Table limit restricts the total number of related tables in a group.  The default is 1000.

    A new diagram is displayed, showing the tables in the new group and the new group added to the tree in the left pane.
