The PowerDesigner Portal

The PowerDesigner Portal allows you to view the contents of your PowerDesigner repository in your web browser. You can share your models with a wide audience, including those who are not PowerDesigner users. Users with the appropriate rights can edit object descriptions directly in the Browser.
