Model Class (MC)

A Model Class is used to describe what a Model Object will look like in the UI, which logics it uses, what are their calculations, etc.

Fields

• uniqueName* – Name of the Model Class, used in Model Object to reference the Model Class they instantiate. It can be modified but the references won’t be updated automatically.

• label – Human readable name of the Model Class, displayed to the user, when they select which Model Class they want to use for creating a new Model Object.

• definition – JSON definition of what a Model Object using this Model Class should look like and how it should behave, see below.

• workflowFormulaName – Name of the workflow logic (with workflowType = “model”) which is responsible for initializing the approval workflow when the user clicks Submit. If not set, when the user submits the model, it is auto-approved and marked as “No Approval Required”.

Model Class Definition

In a Model Class, the definition field is a JSON document that contains three main root elements: calculations, steps and evaluations.

Calculations

A list of calculation as defined by the following fields.

Common Fields

• name* – Name of the calculation, unique in the Model Class.

• type* – Accepted values: formula, sequence, parallel.

Formula Calculation Fields

• formulaName* – Unique name of an existing Formula of nature model_calculation, see also Model Logics.

Sequence Calculation Fields

• sequence* – List of calculation names defined in this Model Class.

Parallel Calculation Fields

• formulaName* – Unique name of an existing Formula of nature model_parallel_calculation, see also Model Logics.

    ]
  }
}

Steps

A list of steps as defined by the following fields.

Fields

• name* – Name of the step, unique in the Model Class.

• label – Human readable name of the step, shown in the UI, it defaults to name if not specified.

• description – Description of the step, shown in the UI.

• calculation – Name of the calculation associated to this step, optional.

• tabs – List of tabs as defined below.

Tabs

A list of tabs as defined by the following fields.

Common Fields

• name* – Name of the tab, unique in the step.

• label – Human readable name of the tab, shown in the UI, it defaults to name if not specified.

• type* – Accepted values: dashboard, configurator, filtertree.

Dashboard Tab Fields

• formulaName* – Unique name of an existing Formula of nature model_evaluation, see also Model Logics.

Configurator Tab Fields

• formulaName* – Unique name of an existing Configurator Formula of nature model_evaluation, see also Model Logics and Interactive Forms - Configurators

Filtertree Tab Fields

• treeName* – Name of the tree to be displayed in the tab. It is used to fetch the tree from the backend.

• formulaName* – Unique name of an existing Formula of nature model_evaluation to be evaluated when a node of the tree is selected, see also ​Model Logics.

• selectedNodeIdsInputName* – Name of the input passed to the evaluation formula, containing the array of selected node ID.
