The Options Tab

The Options tab enables you to configure the elements that will be removed from your model.

  1. Select the name of the model whose elements you want to remove in the Model field.
  2. Check Delete entities if you want to remove entities from the model.
    • Click the ID drop-down and select the field that contains the entities you want to remove from your model. This is often, but not always, the _stp_id field if the ID and type are together, or the _stp_label field if the ID and type are separate.
    • If the input data stores the entity type with the ID, such as with _stp_id, check the In ID field box.
    • If the input data stores the entity type separately, such as with _stp_label, check the In separate field box and select the appropriate field in the Type drop-down. This is often, but not always, the _stp_type field.
    • To select a specific entity type, check the Literal box and select the appropriate field in the Type drop-down.
  3. Check Delete relationships if you want to remove relationships from the model.
    • Select the field that contains the source entities in the Source ID field. This is often _stp_id or _stp_label.
    • If the input data stores the source entity type with the ID, such as with _stp_id, check the In ID field box.
    • If the input data stores the source entity type separately, such as with _stp_label, check the In separate field box and select the appropriate field in the Type drop-down. This is often, but not always, the _stp_type field.
    • To select a specific source entity type, check the Literal box and select the appropriate field in the Type drop-down.
    • Select the field that contains the relationship between the source and target entities in the Label drop-down.
    • If there are multiple relationships with the same label between the source and target entities, click the Unique ID in separate field box and select the name of the Unique ID.
    • Select the field that contains the target entities in the Target ID field. This is often _stp_id or _stp_label.
    • If the input data stores the targe entity type with the ID, such as with _stp_id, check the In ID field box.
    • If the input data stores the target entity type separately, such as with _stp_label, check the In separate field box and select the appropriate field in the Type drop-down. This is often, but not always, the _stp_type field.
    • To select a specific target entity type, check the Literal box and select the appropriate field in the Type drop-down.
