Modifying a model

Procedure

  1. In the Models page, click the name of the model you want to modify.

    The page loads.

  2. Optional: To rename the model, select the Name and Root Element tab and type the new name in the Model Name field.

Once a model is saved as a draft, its Root Element Name cannot be changed.

  1. Optional: To modify the field structure for golden records, select the Fields tab and use the tools there to add, group, modify or delete fields. You can add fields manually or by using the Import Fields wizard or the Boomi Suggest wizard.
