Refreshing the CDE Associated with a Model Component - DRAFT

If you are a model owner, you can refresh the CDE associated with a model component:

1. Log in as described in Logging In.
2. Select Manage > Manage Data > Model Maintenance. The corresponding page appears. (Logged in users can add pages like this to their favorites. For instructions, refer to Managing Favorites.)  
3. Click the edit icon in the row for your model component. A tree view and information panel appear.
4. Specify values in the following fields:
   • Model Element Alternate Name Type
   • Model Characteristic Alternate Name Type
   • Model Classification Scheme
5. Click Save.
6. Select Models Command > Refresh CDE Association. The system finds matching CDEs, associates them with the model component, and displays a message at the top of the page indicating how many characteristics the system updated. 
7. To manually associate additional CDEs with the model component:
   1. In the tree view, select the Model Elements node. A grid appears. Each row has a model element. 
   2. Click the edit icon in the row for the element you want to modify. The Model Element Characteristics node appears. 
   3. Select the Model Element Characteristics node. A grid appears. Each row has a model element characteristic. 
   4. Click the edit icon in the row for the characteristic you want to modify. An information panel appears for that characteristic. 
   5. In the CDE field, specify a CDE. 
   6. Repeat for additional characteristics, as needed. 

At this point, a model mapping expert can map registered model components, as described in Mapping Model Components as an Expert.
