This page of the Model Settings dialog box is intended for Telerik Data Access model properties customization. Here you can specify Database-First settings for Entity Developer behavior management during the process of adding objects from database to model. Here you can also set default values for some properties of objects composing the model, such as e.g. Default Access. In fact, this tab is a more convenient representation of the basic model properties and Entity Developer behavior settings towards the specific model. To edit the full list of model properties, open the Properties window.
