Macros – Also add Data Security Information

This is the third post regarding the binding of custom properties to specific ER objects.

In this one, we’ll support some new ER objects (Models, Submodels, Business Data Objects) and we’ll filter the types of ER objects that can be bound to each Attachment Type.

Even more importantly, we’ll also integrate the Data Security Information so it can also be automatically bound to their relative ER Objects.

Using the data modeling features of ER/Studio Data Architect we can create automatic and customized data model diagrams. ER/Studio Data Architect provides functionality such as automatic layouts, custom colors and fonts for our objects, and relationship line control.
To make our model more attractive and easier to read, we can change the background, outline, and font colors along with the font type entities/tables, attributes/columns, views, and relationships in our data model. We can use specific colors and/or fonts to help us organize our data model.
In this blog post, I’ll share a macro which shows how to manage the colors from a script. With the macro, we can search for a string and colorize the attributes and columns which match the string.
