This topic describes how to add an element reference to a message, type, global group or complex element
To complete the tasks in this topic area, you must have completed the following tasks:
This task assumes that you have previously added the relevant message, type, global group or complex element to your message model.
To add an element reference to a message, type, global group or complex element:
- Switch to the Enterprise Service Tools perspective.
- Ensure that the Outline view is visible in the Enterprise Service Tools perspective of the workbench. If the Outline view is not visible, from the workbench menu, click .
Note: You can also perform this procedure by selecting an object (message, type, group or complex element) in the message definition editor.
- In the Outline view, right-click the object (message, type, group or complex element) to which you are adding a local element then click Add Element Reference on the pop-up menu. This adds a default element reference to the message model object that points to an existing global element. This existing global element may be in the current message file or in a message file defined under Includes or Imports for the current message file.
You can now configure the local element to your exact requirements. For further information on configuring message model objects see Configuring message model objects.
