Configure a recipe schema

Configure a recipe schema with a wizard.
  1. From the toolbar, select Open dashboard page.
  2. In the central pane, select Configure a recipe.
  3. Select an existing recipe or create a new recipe:
    • To create a recipe:

      1. Select New recipe.

      2. Edit Name.

      3. Complete Target node.

        The target node defines the recipe schema ingredients. The target node can be any project node that contains the desired variables.

        For example, the target node can be:

        • The Model folder

        • An object inside the Model folder

        • A node that contains variables from one or more controllers

        Tip: In a complex project, to define variables contained in several nodes as ingredients of a recipe schema, create a dedicated object in the Model folder and add variables inside it. Then, create a dynamic link between the variables and the ingredients. If the object is selected as the target node, the selection of the recipe schema ingredients is intuitive because only the variables referenced in the object are displayed.

      4. Select Next.
