The area editor is a wizard like modal editor that aims to simplify the process of creating and updating database storage areas.


The area editor can be open either when a new area element is created by using the diagram palette - only if this option is set in preferences - or to edit an existing storage area simply by doing a double-click on the area diagram. The wizard can be closed at any time by pressing the Finish button once the minimum information has been provided, when a new area is created from the diagram palette there is an additional button - Add new.. that can be used to add the new area and immediately restart the wizard to create a new one.


The area editor only have one page that shows basic properties of a storage area element, the only required information is the area name which can't be left empty and it also must be unique within a database.
