Conceptual Objects Palette
Go Up to Palettes
This palette appears in the Diagram Area when you open or create a Conceptual Model diagram. It is not available if a Business Process Model is open. If a element has additional options available, a drop-down menu appears to the right of the icon and element name in the palette. For example, if you click the Relationship element, additional relationship types are available.
