Designing functional and logical architectures > Reusing standard components from centralized libraries
Process for creating a data dictionary
Note
Before you can add a signal component to a function or logical structure, the signal component must already exist in a Signals library data dictionary, in the Classification perspective.
Signals libraries and their associated data dictionaries are created in a Classification hierarchy using the Classification Admin perspective.
You must have administrator privileges to work in the Classification Admin perspective.
The high-level process for creating a data dictionary includes the following steps:
- Create a group.
- Add a class to the group.
- Create a Signals library for the class.
- Create attribute dictionary definitions for the Signals library.
