Creating an Organization Model

The Organization Model is contained in a file called name.om, where name is typically the name of the entity for which you are creating the Organization Model. An Organization Model can contain more than one Organization.

1. In the Project Explorer, select the Organization folder in the project where you want to create your Organization Model.
2. Right-click the Organization folder or the OrganizationModel.om folder and select New > Organization Model.
3. The Create Organization Model Diagram wizard is displayed.

   Make sure that the Create default schema types box is checked.

   The folder you selected should be displayed in the Create Organization Model Diagram wizard. You can use the folder you selected or select a different folder, depending on your requirements. However, it must be a special folder of the Organization type.

4. In the File name: field, type the name you want to apply to your Organization Model, followed by the suffix .om. Click Finish.
