Handling a Conceptual Data Model (CDM)
The main operations that can be performed on a CDM are as follows: Main operations that can be performed on a CDM Deleting a CDM To delete a CDM: - Open the Windows explorer.
- Delete the entire CDM directory (<CDM Name>.ANA directory).
Renaming a CDM To rename a CDM: - Open the CDM that must be renamed in the data model editor.
- On the "Home" tab, in the "General" group, expand "Save" and select "Save as".

Checking a CDM To check a CDM: - On the "CDM" tab, in the "Analysis" group, click "Check CDM".
- A window listing the errors and/or the warning is displayed. These errors/warnings are triggered by:

- the standard specified by the user in the "Details" tab of the CDM description ("Model information" in the context menu of the data model editor).
- To print this list, click the "Print" button.
