The Meta Model Builder Dialog


The Meta Model Builder Dialog conveniently allows all Meta Model rules and settings to be modified from a single window. The dialog appears as follows:

The dialog is considered to consist of three separate functional areas:

  1. Rule Set Tree View. This area displays a tree of settings, separated into appropriate branches. When new rule sets are added to the Meta Model, the tree is immediately updated to reflect the added setting. This area also allows the user to select an item for viewing
  2. Item Property View. This area displays the settings of the item selected in the Rule Set Tree View. The user may note the the various fields available for selection.

    Each field functions as follows:

    The buttons between the Removed Properties and Property List boxes serve to transfer items between the two boxes.

  3. Dialog Control Area. This is the main portion of the Meta Model Builder dialog allowing the user to add new sets and close the dialog.
