Specifying the Location of Shared Data

Go Up to Configuring and Customizing

To specify the location of shared data

1. Choose Tools > Options, and then click the Directories tab.
2. In the File Path dialog, browse to an existing directory where you want to store your shared files.

   Note: ER/Studio Data Architect creates a directory that does not exist but not a directory path. If your path has multiple levels, it must be previously created.

3. In the Options dialog, click OK. When closing the dialog ER/Studio Data Architect creates and/or searches in the changed directory.
4. If you are moving any of the following directories, copy the contents of the DataTypeMapping, Macros or Sample Models directories to the new location.
5. To effect the changes, please restart ER/Studio Data Architect.
