The model view can be accessed by selecting the “Model” tab on the bottom left of the Flow Config Environment.
Building the Flow model is performed by right-clicking in the model view and selecting the structural element required:
The menu allows a number of options:
|
Create a new Folder to group elements in your model |
|
Create a new Event definition |
|
Create a new Metric to contain Measures |
|
Rename any object in your model |
|
Delete an object in the model |
|
Reorder folders to provide an accurate representation/model of your facility |
|
Reorder folders |
|
Refresh the model |
Note: You can also use the Flow Zone toolbar to drag new objects onto your model
The result would be a model of your production facility. The model below is an example of a structure as per the “Juice Factory” Flow instance that you build in the Flow Training Tutorials.
Note: The Model can also be expanded by means of instantiating Templates. Model icons with a green hue means that they are instantiated from a template in the Template Tab.
Right-click on one of the template-linked (instantiated) folders, and you'll note that there are additional menu items …
The menu options include:
|
Highlight this object’s parent template in the Template View |
|
Delink the instance from its parent template, creating a stand-alone object |
