Working with Objects in the Repository
Go Up to Working with ERStudio Repository
The Repository performs version control and allows other users to retrieve a copy of the diagram to view or edit it on their local machines if they have permission. The user Roles dictate what a user can do with the diagram and the objects within it. Modelers can update or delete model information simultaneously by working with ER/Studio Data Architect in the normal fashion and by merging their changes into a single model.
Before you add your diagram, if you want to place access restrictions on it, you need to have users and roles created. For more information, see Establishing Security for the Repository.
The Repository includes a robust features set for working with diagrams. Detailed procedures for using these features are provided in this sections.
