Organizing Items in Repositories
You can create multiple Repositories if you want to group your models and files into separate containers in the database. You may, for example, want to set up permissions that differ between various collections of models — perhaps hiding sensitive models from all but a select group of users.
Keep in mind that you cannot simultaneously search models and files placed in different repositories. This may be good from an access control viewpoint but bad for discoverability.
Adding Repositories
Click Repository () in the Repository section of the Home toolbar to open the Add Repository dialog box. The Database field shows the label of the database in which the repository will be created.
1
Write the name of the new repository in the Name field.
2
Write the name of the initial, default, branch in the Default branch name field — see Default Branch.
3
You can provide an optional comment for the initial commit that will be saved when the branch is created in the Comments field.
4
You can set up permissions for the new repository in the Permissions field. This field is only shown if connected to a server database via a Model Manager server. See Granting Permissions.
5
Click OK to add the repository.
The added repository appears as a new child node to the corresponding database node in The Databases Tree.
