Defining annotations

Application information content

The Content page of an application information property sheet allows you to write or paste any well-formed XML content.

Creating an annotation

You can create a global annotation from the Items page or the External

Schemas page of a model property sheet.

To create a global annotation from the Items page of a model property sheet:

1In the Browser tree view, double-click the name or the icon of a model to display its property sheet.

or

Select Model→Model Properties to display the current model property sheet.

2Select the Items page or the External Schemas page.

3Click the Add Annotation tool.

4Click Apply.

5Double-click the arrow left of the annotation line.

The annotation property sheet opens at the General page.
