Custom Models

A custom model is any model other than a Built-in model from Schneider Electric. To use a custom model, you must first create a new custom model. A custom model can be:

• based on a pre-existing Schneider Electric model
• based on a previously created custom model
• an entirely new model

If you base a custom model on a pre-existing Schneider Electric model or a previously created custom model, the new model inherits the properties of the underlying model on which it is based. Inheritance simplifies the task of creating a new custom model, because you need only add or edit properties unique to the new custom model in order to create it.
