Creating and Editing a Class Definition
Now that we know the basic definitions, in this section, we are ready to create our first class. To open up the class definition panel, go through Settings | Data Objects | Classes. Now, we can click on the Add button on the left side. In the following screenshot, we can see the class creation pop-up modal that appears:
Figure 5.1: Creating a new class
In the popup that appears, we must define the following:
- Class name: The name of our class. Pay attention to avoid whitespaces.
- Unique identifier: A short string to identify the class uniquely. If we omit the identifier, the first available integer ID will be applied to the class. This identifier cannot be updated again.
Click on OK and the class will be created.
Now we need to define the general settings for the class. We will list all these settings, explaining their meanings and how to properly configure them. Remember that all settings are optional...
