Add new Model Editor tab ------------------------ Key: TEIIDDES-3044 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TEIIDDES-3044 Project: Teiid Designer Issue Type: Enhancement Components: Editors, Modeling Affects Versions: 11.1 Reporter: Barry LaFond Priority: Critical Fix For: 11.1 Attachments: Designer 11.1 New Features.pdf, create-data-service-action.png, create-data-service-dialog.png, new-model-editor-and-data-sources-view.png Teiid Designer is an Eclipse application. We've gotten lots of feedback that the workflow is based on a developer paradigm and not necessarily a data-source/data-service paradigm. The Model Explorer/Tree view + Properties View + Description View paired up with the Diagram and Table Editor pages do not provide a coherent UI for editing models. Users are required to select an object in the tree or diagram in order to find out what actions are available for that object, whether a Model or a model child (table, view, column, etc.) One solution is to create a Model Editor page/tab which provides a more model-centric approach to editing a model and providing such actions. The attached screen cap shows an initial approach which displays a tree view of the model contents and associated Actions, Properties and Description editor tabs which allow managing the majority of the workflow actions and steps.
