Editing Other Models

The Other model view includes a number of different models that can be used within an App to configure its behavior. These include Action, Content and User, Security policy, Data object, Template, Service, and Liquibase changelog models. Each of the different models can be created and edited in a similar way through forms.

User Interface

The different Work models can be selected to create, view and modify by selecting the appropriate filter. Currently, there are three types of Work model:

Model Type	Content
Action	Action models
Content	Content models
User	User models
Security policy	Security policy models
Data object	Data object models
Template	Template models
Service	Service models
Liquibase changelog	Liquibase changelog models

Action Model

The Action model editor shows a list of existing Action models, which can then be modified or deleted as required. By default, the list of models is displayed in the order of last modified and as a textual table of model details. It is possible to switch the view to a different sort order or as a graphical gallery of cards.
