Create, edit, and delete a model

You manage models on the project’s Models screen.

Owner, Maintainer, and Writer can create, edit, and delete a model. Reader can view the model list.

Create a model

Adds one model to the project.

1. On the project’s Models screen, click New Model.
2. Enter the Model name. When you enter it with alphanumeric characters, a string based on the Model name is filled into Model key automatically. In the string filled into Model key, spaces become hyphens and uppercase letters become lowercase.
3. In Model description, enter what this model covers. This is optional.
4. Check the Model key. When the field has no value, or when an error is shown, enter the key yourself. For the characters and length you can use, see Model.
5. Click OK. The schema screen of the model you created opens.

Back on the Models screen, you can move from a card to that model’s schema and content.

Change the model name, model key, and model description

1. On the project’s Models screen, click the more actions icon (…) on the card of the model you are changing.
2. Choose Edit.
3. Change Model name, Model description, and Model key. Changing the Model name does not change the Model key.
4. Click OK.

Delete a model

Deletion cannot be undone

Deleting a model also deletes that model’s items and comments, its views, and its schema. Fields in other models that reference this model are deleted as well.

Deletes a model you no longer need.

1. On the project’s Models screen, click the more actions icon (…) on the card of the model you are deleting.
2. Choose Delete.
3. Check that the model name shown on the confirmation screen belongs to the model you are deleting.
4. Click Delete model.

Once deleted, that model’s card is gone from the Models screen.
