Updating data

This section describes the available tools to update existing data.

Updating entities and classes

Using Edit… dialogs

Select any number of entity and/or class items in Object tree or Relationship tree, or any number of object and/or relationship items in Entity graph. Then, either select Edit -> Edit selected items from the menu bar, or right-click on the selection and choose Edit selected items from the context menu.

One separate Edit… dialog will pop up for each selected entity or class type, and the tables will be filled with the current data of selected items. E.g.:
