Design context

Identify protected designs/interfaces

Designs and interfaces have a Context property to help differentiate between the blueprinted system ones (protected) and those created by your organisation (which you can edit freely).

Check the context

To check the context of a design/interface, select it to view its details in the right panel.

To check the context of an attribute on the design/interface, use the tab bar to switch to the Attributes tab, and then select an attribute:

Context types

The possible context types are:

• Core - the design/interface is provided with Alloy and required for system functionality, so it can't be deleted. However, you can:

  • edit the Name, Icon, Colour, Title and Subtitle properties on the General tab

  • add, edit or remove any custom attributes

  • add or remove any extra interfaces being implemented

• Module - the design/interface belongs to an optional module that was installed. Same restrictions as Core.

• Package - the design/interface was created by our system architects as part of a custom solution for your organisation. Same restrictions as Core.

• Customer - the design/interface was created by your organisation. Therefore, you can freely edit or delete it, providing your user account has permission to do so.
