After creating a custom model, you need to configure and populate it.
- To configure a custom model, you need to add its object types and configure their
attributes and relationships.
For example, you will create Business Policy object types for a Business Policy Management custom model or Term object types for a Glossary custom model.
- To populate a custom model, you need to add the model and its related objects into a configuration.
You can also configure and populate the custom model from an imported custom model.
You can also export the custom model to edit and integrate metadata.
Object types associated with custom models can have any number of attribute types associated with them. These function are different from custom attributes on imported models. Unlike custom attributes, attributes on custom model objects are always considered available to edit. You do not have to attach them to each instantiated object. For the instantiated objects, all of the attributes available will show in the object page.
With custom models, some attributes may be mandatory. These attributes are required to be entered as soon as an instance of the object is created.
