Elements stored in the databank are called configuration items and stored as ASCII files. Multiple versions of the same configuration item can exist in the databank. All versions of a configuration item belong to the same owner and have the same access permissions.
Elements consist of the following:
● Charts (statecharts, activity charts, module charts, use-case diagrams, sequence diagrams, flowcharts, and global definition sets)
●
● Components (Every databank can contain components, but only databanks that are defined as libraries can “export” these components to other projects.)Note: Truth tables are not separate configuration items. A truth table belongs to the chart in which it was defined. When the chart containing the truth table is loaded into the workarea, the truth table is also loaded. It is also saved to the databank when the chart is saved.
