Add an individual task to a template definition, which determines what information a user needs to provide when using the template to create a model.
Implementation:
- Access the Template Definition window used to create or edit a model template.
- Switch to the Tasks tab.
- Click Add. This opens the Template Task Editor.
- Enter a suitable Task Name.
- Use the Task Type to determine the sort of information it will request from end users. This can either be set to Model Identifier, which asks the user to specify an initial value for an identifier in the new model, or Configure Connection String Property, which asks the user to specify the value of a connection string property associated with a data source in the new model.
- (Optional) You can include a Task Instruction message to let the end user know what to do and why. You should make this message as clear and concise as possible, to avoid users configuring their new model incorrectly.
- Click Save to apply your changes and close the dialog.
- Click Save again to apply your changes to the model template.
