Click on this link below to understand Shortcuts in Toad Data Modeler.
In Toad™ Data Modeler, you can create multiple graphical representatives of an object - Shortcuts.
You can create shortcuts of these objects:
Shortcuts help you to organize your large models. Let's say you have a model, where an entity is related to a large number of other entities. You can break the model down into multiple workspaces and create a shortcut of the entity for each workspace. The structure of model is not affected, but you get to see the important things more clearly.
For further distinction of model objects using colors, see Categories.
Scenario You have a Student entity, which is related to many other entities across the entire model. You want to divide the model into two blocks and you also want the Student entity to be contained in both of these blocks. Solution: A shortcut of the Student entity has been created and used in another part of the model. This way, the model has been logically divided into two blocks and became much clearer and better arranged. |
