Model Configuration
Language settings
In the Settings dialog, select the menu Languages.
Define for which languages the description and the preferredName attributes for elements should be displayed.
Element attributes can only be added for the languages defined in your settings.
For each language defined in the settings you will later get an entry field, as shown in the example property.
| Importing a model automatically imports all languages existing in the respective model but never deletes a language. |
| All attributes of each element in a specific language will be deleted without a way to restore them, when deleting this language from your settings. Make sure to save your model before deleting languages in your settings. |
Namespaces setting
In the Settings dialog, select the menu Namespaces.
Edit the current namespace and check the supported version of the underlying SAMM Aspect Meta Model, the current Aspect’s namespace as well as the predefined namespaces. For more information, see Namespaces (SAMM 2.1.0).
