2.2 Entity editors<br />

Entity editors<br />

As mentioned previously, <strong>ModelBuilder</strong> provides customised editors for each type of entity. Each editor provides a<br />

number of tabs, allowing the user to view or alter the different aspects of the entity’s behaviour.<br />

This section will cover the two tabs which are present on most of <strong>ModelBuilder</strong>’s entity editors – the “<strong>gPROMS</strong><br />

language” and “properties” tabs. Tabs specific to individual entities will be described in subsequent chapters.<br />

2.2.1 The entity properties tab<br />

All Entity editors in <strong>gPROMS</strong> <strong>ModelBuilder</strong> have an Entity Properties tab (see Figure 2.3) that includes the following<br />

information:<br />

description of the Entity; this is an arbitrary text provided by the Entity developer(s) for future reference.<br />

Entity creation and last modification information, including the user who performed these actions, and their<br />

times and dates; this information is read-only as it is constructed and maintained automatically by<br />

<strong>ModelBuilder</strong>.<br />

a list of all other Entities on which this Entity depends; again this is read-only information that is constructed<br />

and maintained automatically by <strong>ModelBuilder</strong>. 5<br />

5 The appearance of a referenced Entity in this list simply indicates that it is required for the correct operation of the<br />

current Entity; it does not necessarily imply that the referenced Entity actually exists and/or can be located at this<br />

point in the <strong>ModelBuilder</strong> session.
