Tutorial: Verbs

After having defined the nouns for your app, the second step is to create verbs. Verbs define the connections between the nouns of your app. There are two types of verbs you can create:

Associations: the relationships between entities (e.g. Customers use Shopping carts).
Attributions: the assignments of characteristics (attributes and descriptors) to entities (e.g. Grocery products are referred to by Product names).

Example app: Grocery store
