You can choose to have certain Data Marking Categories ignored in the model. This means that the Data Marking Category:

  • Will no longer be available in the Data Markings shortcut menu.
  • The Data Markings that belong to this category will no longer be visible on the elements they are added to, including Containment Markings. 
  • The Data Markings that belong to this category will no longer be represented on the Diagram Banner.

The Data Markings of an ignored category that were added to the elements prior to the category being added to the Ignored list will be displayed again once the category is removed from the Ignored list.

Important

If you add/remove Data Marking Categories to/from the Ignored list, ensure that you:

  • Refresh the project (click F5 on the keyboard or click View > Refresh in the tool) to see the changes on the element symbol portion markings.
