Script

[Opening Scene]

Narrator: "Welcome back! In our previous video, we explored what a BIE—Business Information Entity—is and how to create one. Today, we're taking it a step further. Let's dive into the rich editing features of BIE and see how they empower you to profile core components effectively."

[Scene transitions to a BIE tree view interface.]
Narrator: "Here, we have a BIE loaded in the tree view. Click the right arrow button here to navigate through the nodes, representing various elements of the BIE. Depending on your needs, you can interact with different types of nodes—these could include ASBIE, BBIE, or BBIE SC."

[The narrator highlights a node and selects it.]
Narrator: "Selecting a node opens up its properties panel, where you can refine its details. Let’s start with specifying examples. Providing an example value makes it easier for stakeholders to understand how this node will appear in actual data."

[Scene: Narrator edits an example value in the properties panel.]
Narrator: "For instance, if this node represents a currency code, you might enter 'USD' as an example. This provides clarity during implementation and review."

[Scene: Narrator selects a value domain from a dropdown.]
Narrator: "Next, let’s talk about value domains. These define the possible data types or ranges for a node based on the component’s context. You can select the most appropriate domain to ensure your BIE aligns with business rules."

[Scene: Narrator selects a code list option.]
Narrator: "Code lists are another essential feature. They allow you to restrict values to a predefined set of codes. For instance, if the node refers to a currency, you can select an ISO currency code list. The options available depend on your system's configuration, ensuring flexibility and adherence to standards."

[Scene: Narrator hides unused nodes in the tree view using a toggle option.]
Narrator: "When working with large BIEs, you might encounter unused nodes—those not relevant to your current profile. To simplify your view, use the 'Hide Unused Nodes' feature. This declutters the tree, helping you focus on what matters most."

[Scene: Narrator expands nodes to show a few levels of detail.]
Narrator: "Sometimes, you need to go deeper into the structure to explore or edit specific elements. Use the expand feature to reveal multiple depths at once, making it easier to inspect and refine complex hierarchies."

[Scene: Narrator uses a search bar to find a node within the tree.]
Narrator: "And if you're looking for a specific node, the search function is your best friend. Simply type the name or part of it, and the tree highlights matching nodes instantly. This is especially helpful for large BIEs with extensive structures."

[Scene: Narrator demonstrates reusing a BIE.]
Narrator: "Lastly, let’s touch on BIE reuse. If a node in your tree references another reusable BIE, you can integrate it directly here. This not only saves time but also ensures consistency across different profiles."

[Closing scene with a call to action.]

Narrator: "With these features, editing and refining BIEs becomes more intuitive and powerful. You now have the tools to profile core components with precision and clarity. Visit our website to learn more."
