Method Calls
You can add any available model method as a Method Call node (), which appears under Global Definitions. If the Group by Type option is enabled, the Method Call nodes are grouped under the Method Calls node (). In the Settings window, the model method that this Method Call node calls is listed as, for example, Model method: modelmethod1.
At the top of the Settings window, click the Run button () or press F8 to run the model method for this method call. Click the Stop button () to stop a running model method (this button is unavailable if a model method is not running).
Click the Edit Method button () to open the model method in a method editor window in the Application Builder, where you can make changes and additions to the model method.
You can also right-click the Method Call node and choose Run (or press F8) or Edit Method .
The Method Call node’s Settings window includes the following section:
Inputs
In this section, any inputs that you have defined for the model method appear, using the input’s description as the label and a text field for entering a value for the input (the text field contains a default value if it has been defined for that input). If the input is a Boolean, it appears as a check box instead. If the input is a 2D array, Array 1D Boolean, or Array 1D String, it is shown as a table, where you can add values and add rows and columns as applicable. Contrary to running model methods directly, method calls can use model methods with inputs defined in the Settings window for model methods in the Application Builder. That way you can, for example, use multiple instances of a model method with different input values.
