Edit Model

Editing a model allows changing model settings, including name, description, and other parameters. This instruction will show how to edit an existing model.

When Needed

  • You need to change the model name or description.
  • You want to update model settings (access rights, visibility).
  • You need to change display parameters or model behavior.
  • You want to update model metadata for better organization.

What's Important to Know

  • Editing model — changing settings and parameters of an existing model.
  • You can change name, description, access rights settings, etc.
  • Changes to model field structure are done separately through adding or editing fields.
  • Some changes may affect existing model records.

Prerequisites

  • You are logged in with integrator rights.
  • You have navigated to the Custom Data module via Apps -> Custom Data.
  • There is a model in the system that needs to be edited.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. In the Custom Data module, find the needed model in the model list.
  2. Find the "Edit" or "Settings" button next to the model name or in the actions menu.
  3. Click the button — the model editing form opens.
  4. In the editing form, update needed parameters:
    • Model Name — change the name if needed.
    • Model Description — update the description or add a new one.
    • Access Rights Settings — change who can view or edit model data.
    • Group — select or change the model group (if groups are configured).
    • Other parameters depending on system settings.
  5. Check the correctness of entered data.
  6. Click the "Save" or "Update" button — changes are saved.

What Happens After

The model is updated with new settings. Changes apply to the model and affect display and behavior when working with records.

How to Verify It Worked

  • Check that changes are saved and displayed in the model list.
  • Make sure updated settings are applied to the model.
  • Check that access rights and other parameters work correctly.

Other Methods

  • Some model parameters can be changed directly in the model list.
  • You can duplicate a model to create a copy with different settings.
  • Changes to field structure are done through separate functions for adding or editing fields.
