Creating a system model

Before you can create components in a system model in Test , you must create an empty system model and publish the system model to the team space repository.

You must have completed the following tasks:

Ensured that you are assigned a role as an Architect in the team space, a Project Owner or a Tester in the project. See Managing members and their roles in a team space or Managing access to the server projects.
Added a repository to the team space. See Adding a repository to a team space.

Log in to Test.
The Projects page of the initial team space is displayed.
Click the Switch Team Space icon from the left navigation pane. Then, use the Switch to option to open the team space for which you want to create a system model.
Select an option to create a system model based on your role in the team space or in a project in the team space:
- If you are a Team space owner or an Architect, go to Step 4.
- If you are not a Team space owner or an Architect but a project Owner or Tester, go to Step 5.
Perform the following steps, if you are a Team space owner or an Architect:
1. Click System Model in the left navigation pane.
  
  The System Model page is displayed.
2. Click the Add system model icon .
  
  An empty system model is created.
3. Go to Step 6.
Perform the following steps, if you are not a Team space owner or an Architect but a Project owner:
1. Open your project that is displayed under My projects tab.
  
  The Overview page of the project is displayed.
2. Click System Model in the left navigation pane.
  
  The System Model page is displayed.
3. Click the Add system model icon .
  
  An empty system model is created.
4. Go to Step 6.
Click the icon, and then click the Publish option.

Note: If you do not want to commit the changes that you made to the system model, you can select the Discard option.
Enter a commit message in the Description of change field, and then click Publish.

The empty system model is committed and published to the team space repository. When the system model is published to the team space repository, other members of the team space can work with the same system model from any of their projects in the team space.

You have created an empty system model and published it to the team space repository.

You can perform any of the following tasks:

Create components in the system model. See Creating components.
Create child components for the components that you added to the system model. See Creating child components.
