Customize Template

Customize Template allows you to modify an imported database template to fit your application’s specific requirements.

After importing a template, you are free to adjust its structure, relationships, and database objects. The imported template becomes part of your project and behaves like any other Database Schema.

Customizing templates helps you reuse existing database designs while adapting them to your business needs.

Before you begin

Before customizing a template, ensure that you have:

Imported a database template
Permission to edit the Database Schema

[!NOTE] Customizing a template affects only the imported Database Schema in your project. The original template remains unchanged.

What can you customize?

After importing a template, you can modify:

Tables
Columns
Data Types
Primary Keys
Foreign Keys
Relationships
Constraints
Table names
Column names

All supported database objects can be edited using the Visual Modeling tools.
