Last modified: December 16, 2025
Introduction
The right-click menu in the domain model allows you to manage an entity, as well as its attributes and associations. For example, you can use the menus to review properties, find usages within your app, and generating overview pages based on an entity's data.
Entity Menu Overview
The entity right-click menu items are described in the table below.
| Menu item | Description | Shortcut key |
|---|---|---|
| Go to generalization | Go to the generalization entity of the chosen entity. | |
| Select generalization | Choose the entity the selected entity should inherit from. | |
| Go to event microflow | Open the event microflow attached to the entity. | |
| Add | Add an attribute, association, or validation rule to your entity. | |
| Move to | Move the entity to the domain model of one of the other modules in your app. | |
