Defining Elements and Attributes in XML Schemas.

The new group is added to the XML Schema. It is displayed in the diagram and in the text pane (if you have it open). The properties for the new group are displayed in the Properties window.

sequence modifier created in
step 6.
AlternativeIf you prefer, you can create the element group first, define the modifier for the group elements, and then add new elements to the group by right-clicking on the modifier and selecting Add > Element. If you do this, you must then define each of the elements you added to the group. |
