ART Template Associations

Creating ART Template Associations

Template associations link template elements to dataset concepts. The rationale is to make a link possible between a functional concept in a dataset / scenario and their technical representation in the form of a template element and it's properties.

Go to the templates/template mapping dialog

Dialog

A dialog opens were you can select concepts with the view on a dataset or a scenario (1). On the left hand side the Concepts are listed (2) and shown in detail in area (3), on the right hand side all available templates are listed (4) and shown in details in area (5).

Selection

Select the concept (lefthand side) and the template (righthand side) you want to link together. The area (6) in the middle of the screen allows you to create the association.

Select the template element from the dropdown box to link the template element to the dataset concept (1) and click on Create template association (2) to establish the link and save the template association. If there are no existing template element ids yet (usually the case) then add them with the button Add element ids (3). You have the option to even create a template based on the selected information (4).

Display

The template associations are typically shown as a "target" icon at the corresponding template element (1).
