Create New Element Dialog

The dialog for the creation of a required element appears if the type (create template) and owner (structure assignment) of a required element are unique. You can enter a name for the required element in the dialog.

Purpose

The dialog appears if an element you require is not available and needs to be created.

The Create New Element dialog appears as an alternative to the Create New Element wizard if the owner and create template are unique. You then only need to enter the name.

Fewer work steps are required than in the Create New Element wizard. Nevertheless, you see where the required element will be created and can give it a name.

Prerequisites

A further element must be created for the current process. This might be a prerequisite element, for example.
The owner and create template are unique and do not need to be selected.

Structure

The dialog displays the owner of the element and the used create template. The tool tip for the owner shows the complete path.
You can enter a name for the element to be created in the field. If you leave the field empty, a default name is used.

How to Use the Dialog

Context

Create an element and assign a name.

How to proceed

In the Type and Owner fields, you can see the type that the element should receive and where you can find it later on in the model.

The tool tip for the owner shows the complete path.
You can enter a name for the element to be created in the Name field.

If you leave the field empty, a default name is used.
Close the dialog with OK.

The element is created and the underlying process is continued.

If you close the dialog with Abort, the element is not created.
