Editing a Project Diagram

Edit projects in the Visual editor by adding shapes from the Palette to the project diagram, connecting them, and completing the configuration of each shape.

1. If the sample project diagram is not already open in the Visual editor, open it now:
   1. In SAP Sybase ESP Authoring perspective, from Project Explorer, open the sample project, my_portfolio_valuation.
   2. Navigate to the .cclnotation file in your project folder and double-click my_portfolio_valuation.cclnotation.
2. Click in the diagram to begin editing using the Palette.
   Tip: To make the Visual editor window full-screen, double-click the name:Diagram tab at the top. Double-click again to revert.
3. Select the input stream element NEWSTREAM that was added automatically when you created the project, right-click, and choose Delete Element.
   To run the sample project with example data, you must delete this element from the project before compiling.

   • Delete Element — removes the element from the project.
   • Delete from Diagram — removes the element from the diagram, but retains it in the project. When you run the project, everything in the project runs, even elements that are not on the diagram.
4. (Optional) To toggle between the Visual editor and the CCL editor, choose Switch to Text or Switch to Visual (F6).
   Note: The Visual editor, like other graphical user interfaces, offers several ways to accomplish most tasks, although this guide may not list all of them. For example, in many contexts you can carry out an action by:

   • Clicking a button or other icon in a shape, or on the main toolbar
   • Using a shortcut key
   • Double-clicking an element to open it
   • Right-clicking to select from the context menu
   • Selecting from the main menu bar
   • Editing element values in the Properties view
