Access
This dialog box appears when you double-click a non-informed leg connecting an informed relationship with an informed entity or subtype entity, and when these objects are connected by informed legs which have not yet been designed in the current application area.
In this box, you can then associate the non-informed leg with an informed leg which has not yet been designed in the application area. You can also create a new leg by entering its characteristics. The choice of the required action is made by clicking the corresponding radio button.
