You can customize the New Model dialog to guide model creation through templates and use profiles to hide types of models, objects, and object properties, and to customize menus, commands, and preferences.
Customizing the New Model Dialog
You can create model templates with predefined targets, extensions, and first diagrams to help guide users through model creation. You can organize these templates in categories and share them with your team, supplementing or even replacing the default New Model dialog with these categories.
Using Profiles to Control the PowerDesigner Interface
An administrator can create profiles in the repository to customize and simplify the PowerDesigner interface for users by hiding types of models, objects, and object properties, by reconfiguring menus, toolbars, and toolboxes, and by setting appropriate defaults for options and preferences. You can define multiple profiles to customize the interface in different ways for different kinds of users and apply them as appropriate to individual user accounts or to repository groups.
