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
A model category set is a PowerDesigner resource file that contains one or more categories, which in turn contain templates to guide users through model creation in the New Model dialog. Using categories and templates for model creation simplifies the model creation process by preselecting appropriate targets, extensions, and diagrams, and by hiding irrelevant choices from users.
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.
