Defining MongoDB Objects

Follow these steps to create MongoDB objects and define their properties:

  1. In the Model Explorer, right-click the required object and click New.
    An instance of the object is created.
  2. Right-click the newly created instance and click Properties.
    The object's property editor opens.
  3. Set the values of all the required properties.
    For information on properties, refer to the corresponding object's property page from the MongoDB Support Summary topic.
  4. Click Close.
    The object is created and the required properties are set.

Refer to the MongoDB documentation for detailed information on specific MongoDB objects and properties. erwin® Data Modeler documentation for the property editors provides brief descriptions of the controls on each dialog box and tab, which you can use as a point of reference while working with database design features.
