Insert SmartDesign dialog (hierarchy)

Use the SmartDesign table to quickly enter model contents via the keyboard while the model graphic is created automatically.

The model type, the SmartDesign configuration, and your settings in the Show columns pop-up menu on the table header determine what columns are shown in the table.

The table colors help to distinguish between the object types.

First column

In models that are hierarchically organized, the first column may contain a tree structure. The SmartDesign configuration determines which objects are allowed in the first column and what type of relationship they have with each other.

Example: In an organizational chart, the first column can, for example, display a hierarchy of organizational units.

More columns

If other columns are available, you can create objects there that have a relationship with the object in the first column. Each column represents an object type that has a certain relationship to the object in the first column.

Example: In an organizational chart, the Role column, for example, can represent objects of the Role type that have a belongs to relationship with the organizational unit in the first column.
