Bizagi offers a set of attribute types so you can create your include in you data model everything you require. They are separated in four categories to help to quickly find the one you need:
•Basic types: the most common types used. They are on the top of the list for easy access.
•More types: Additional advanced types.
•Entity: Gives access to all Application, Master, Parameter and System entities of the model. Accessing entities through this category creates a Related Attribute relationship with the target entity selected. You can create any type of entity you need if it has not been created; the relationship will be created automatically.
•Collection: Accessing entities through this category creates a One-to-many relationship with the child (target) entity selected. You can create collections with Master and Application entities on your data model. If needed you can create a new entity; the relationship will be created automatically.
