Determining Which Objects are Bound by Data Dictionary Objects
The View Bindings dialog box displays the names of the attributes or columns to which the selected Data Dictionary
object is bound. Selected objects show which domains are bound to which attributes and columns.
1 On the Data Dictionary tab, navigate to the dictionary object you want to investigate, such as a specific rule.
2 Right-click the data dictionary object and select View .... Bindings, where ... is the name of the data dictionary
object.
Notes
• The View Bindings dialog is read-only.
• To unbind an object, use the Binding Information tab of the data dictionary object editor or the relevant tab of the
editor of the database class or object you want to unbind.

Changing Data Dictionary Object Bindings and Values
The bindings of data dictionary objects can be overridden in the data model object editor. For example, you have
created a security property and applied it to an entity. Unbinding the security property from an attribute of that entity or
changing the value of the security property can be accomplished through the Security Information tab of the Attribute
Editor.
NOTE: In order to bind an data dictionary object to a database object, that specific object or class to which
the object belongs, must have been bound to the data dictionary object in the data dictionary
object editor.
1 In the Data Model Explorer, right-click the data model object, and then click Edit.
2 In the editor, click the relevant tab, as described in the table below.
