Decide a Method to Apply Standards

You can apply data type standards in three ways:

Create a standard

Create a data type standard and apply it to your model if you are applying standards for the first time. After you create a DSM object and define your standards, you can use the standard in all your data models.

Import from a previous release

Import data type standards from a previous release and apply the standard to your model. Importing saves your time from creating a standard and maintains the consistency across all data models in your organization.

Bind a model template

Bind an existing model template having data type standards to your model. You can use the same template for multiple models. You can also sync the template with the current model for any changes in the model. After you sync the template, it will inherit the changes that are made in the current model.
