Creating Entities

Last modified on September 13th, 2018.


  1. Within 'Diagrams View,' users can create a new entity by clicking the '+ New Entity' button on the top left of the page.

  2. This will open a drop-down menu of 'Entity' type options to create. This example will use the 'Action' class moving forward; however, the overall process is the same regardless of the selected class.

  3. Once you have selected your entity type, a dialog will open. Here, enter at least a 'Name' for your new 'Action' entity.

  4. Fill in the other attributes as necessary, add relationships and labels if need be, and then click the green 'Save' button to persist your new entity to your project's database.

  5. Once you have saved, you will be navigated back to 'Database View,' where you will be able to find your new entity displayed as a row in your project's database.
