The internal format contains property type information so that the value can be pasted exactly into other rows of the grid.

You can also copy data from an individual cell, either as text or as a special internal format. When you attempt to paste cells into the Bulk Editor, erwin® Data Modeler checks to ensure that the data types of the pasted cells match the required data type for each property. Their row position is determined by resorting all of the rows.Ĭopy and paste of row data to and from spreadsheet programs, such as Microsoft Excel, is supported. You need to resort all of the rows to change their order. New objects are placed at the bottom of the grid, and when a name changes for an existing object, its row position does not change. The same consideration applies within a session when new objects are added to the Bulk Editor, or when the names of existing objects are changed.

To reapply the sort order when reopening the Bulk Editor in a new session, the sequence in which the column sorts were applied must also be saved, so that stable sorts can be reapplied in the same sequence. The sort order is persisted along with the other Bulk Editor settings. The data in the Name column is used in a sort if all other columns are equal. Because stable sort is used, if you first sort by the Name column, then by the Type column, the sort order within the Name column is preserved within each type. When you click on the Type column header, the order you specify in the Bulk Editor Wizard is used (alphabetical or reverse order). By default the names are sorted in alphabetic order within the Type column.

Sort is provided by clicking on the column headers in the grid. The following describes the basic tasks you can perform in the Bulk Editor: The following illustration shows the Bulk Editor pane beside the application:įor more room to expand each column in the Bulk Editor, simply float the Bulk Editor over the application: Any pane on the erwin® Data Modeler main window can be resized, rearranged, or floated above or beside the application. The Bulk Editor occupies a pane similar to the Model Explorer or Action Log.
