If the visual Diagram Editor doesn't fit your needs, or you are more on the textual side of things, you can edit the raw data of your diagram with the XML Editor. To enter the XML Editor, go to "View → XML Editor". To switch back to the visual Diagram Editor, use "View → Diagram Editor".

 

Disclaimer: With great power comes great responsibility - the editing of the raw XML data requires knowledge of the XML specification and additionally the DMN standard. Manipulating the raw data might lead to unparsable files or data loss (use [DMN Modeler] Version Control to roll back if needed). However, we will try to help you wherever we can - don't hesitate to reach out!


XML Error Panel SERVER | DATA CENTER Cloud

|Since 2.10.0-ENTERPRISE.|

Our XML Error Panel lets you know whenever there's a problem with your DMN diagram.

You will find a summary of errors and warnings at the top right corner of the XML Editor (inside the grey toolbar).

Click on the number of errors and warnings to see a detailed list of errors and warnings for your diagram.

 

Keep in mind: To conform with the DMN standard, the elements containing warnings will be discarded after saving the diagram and exiting the editor (or switching views). Solve the warnings before exiting the XML editor to avoid any data loss (use [DMN Modeler] Version Control to roll back if needed).

 

You can directly jump to a specific error or warning by clicking on it. The code will be highlighted.
