Model setup options
You can either configure your Model as part of the Editor (recommended for smaller Models), or set it up as a standalone item with its own configuration (recommended for more elaborate Models).
Depending on the complexity of your Model, you can do one of the following:
- Add your Model to the configuration of your Editor
-
For modest Models, add your Model to the configuration of the custom Editor you created. Your Model extensions go in a new
<ext:modelextensions>element that you insert below the<ext:dataextenders>element. This puts the Model and the various extensions, custom controls, and so on, all in the same file. - Roll out your Model as a standalone Extension
- If your Model involves lots of interaction with your custom data, or if you simply prefer keeping your controls and your model separate, set your Model up separately from your custom Editor. Setting up a Model involves creating a configuration and rolling out your Model as a standalone Extension in an Add-on package.
