 <context id="odataeditoredmxreferences" title="Adding EDMX References">
    <description>You can create a advanced OData model by importing the EDMX references into IGWDT. The advantage of this function is that it reduces the effort of recreating similar models/artifact and basically reuses the existing artifacts  from the referenced schema.

To add EDMX references proceed as follows:

1.  Click the <b>References</b> tab located on the lower left end of OData model editor.
	Every project will have a set of edmx references assigned to it by default. These references can be removed using the Remove button if they are not be used in the OData Model in the OData model editor. 
	An confirmation message is displayed on trying to delete the references.
    If the EDMX Reference is already in use then an error message displays.
	Click the <b>Restore Default</b> button to restore the default EDMX references if they were removed. If you try to restore the available references then an error message displays.
2.	Click <b>Add</b> to add a new reference.
3.	In the <b>Specify the EDMX</b> reference to be added window, select the <b>Service URL</b> radio button to import a edmx reference using the service URL or select <b>Service Metadata File</b> radio button to import a edmx reference file.
    For Service URL option provide the service url and for the metadata file option select the edmx file.
5.	The service populates in the Service Details region.
6.	On successful addition of the service, the service appears under the Referenced Schemas region.
7.	Expand the service and select the schema.
8.	Save the changes.
9.	Navigate to the OData model editor.
10.	The palette now has a another OData model element "Referenced Entity"added under Objects region.
