Create Shortcuts

Toad Data Modeler allows you to create shortcuts of objects on Workspaces in many ways.

To add a shortcut within a Workspace

Drag&Drop techniques and CTRL+SHIFT

Example:

Create a shortcut of the Customer entity on one WS - Borrowing WS:

  1. Click the Customer entity on the Borrowing WS and hold the mouse key down.
  2. Press CTRL+SHIFT keys and hold them down.
  3. Drag the Customer entity to any place on the work area (the mouse cursor will change its appearance).
  4. Release the mouse button and the keys.

Note: This method cannot be used for creating shortcuts of relationship and inheritance objects.

To add a shortcut from Model Explorer to Workspace

Drag&Drop techniques from Model Explorer to particular WS

Example:

  1. Activate the Workspace where you want to add a shortcut of the Customer entity.
  2. In Model Explorer, find the Customer entity.
  3. Click the Customer entity and hold the mouse key down.
  4. Drag the Customer entity to the WS (the mouse cursor will change its appearance).
  5. Release the mouse button.

To add a shortcut of selected object(s) from one Workspace to another Workspace

Right-click the selected object(s) (e.g. entity) on the WS and select:

  • Add into Workspace to select the particular WS.

or

  • Add into New Workspace to create a new WS and add the shortcut there. The layout and format of the shortcuts remain preserved when you use this option.

To add a shortcut of objects related to an entity on Workspace (including relationships)

Right-click the entity and select from the following options:

  • Fill Parent Objects to add shortcuts of parent objects of the selected entity to the WS.
  • Fill Child Objects to add shortcuts of child objects of the selected entity to the WS.
  • Fill Parent and Child Objects to add shortcuts of parent and child objects of the selected entity to the WS.

To add a shortcut of object(s) to the selected Workspace

Right-click the selected Workspace and select Add All Model Objects to Workspace to add shortcuts of all objects that exist in your model.

Edit Shortcuts

To edit object property

Double-click the selected shortcut on the Workspace.

You can edit any shortcut you want. The changed properties will be automatically applied to the parent object and to any other existing shortcuts of the object.

To change graphical format of a shortcut

Right-click the selected shortcut on the Workspace and select Format.

The changed graphical format will be applied only to the selected shortcut. Toad Data Modeler allows you to define a different graphical format settings for each shortcut of the same object.

Remove and List Shortcuts

To remove a shortcut of object on the Workspace

Select a shortcut on the WS and press Delete.

Only the selected shortcut will be removed from the Workspace. The object itself still exists in the model.

TIP: More ways to do this:

  1. Right-click the shortcut in Model Explorer and select Delete Item.
  2. To remove more shortcuts on WS at once, make multiple selection and then press Delete.

List Shortcuts

To list all shortcuts that exist in your model see Model Explorer and the following folders.

List all shortcuts by object type (entity, relationship, inheritance)

Select the particular object folder (e.g. Entities) | Shortcuts folder. Here, you can also see names of the Workspaces where the particular shortcuts are located.

List all shortcuts by Workspace

Click the Workspaces folder | particular workspace folder (e.g. Ordering) | Entity Shortcuts, Relationship Shortcuts, View Shortcuts.

To find shortcuts of objects on the Workspace quickly

Double-click the shortcut in Model Explorer to highlight it on the Workspace.

Note: Shortcuts can also be found in Workspace Properties which can be opened by right-clicking a workspace in Model Explorer, Application View or Designer and selecting Edit.
