• Dev codes constraints and managers

• Install package is created

1) Customer wants to:• Create or extend SDM

models• Define new settings• Define new constraints• Use new types in Visual

Studio

3) Customer uses VS Extensibility to:

• Install new types• Create rich application

models using new types

• Associate resources with existing definitions

4) Service is visible and available for modeling:

• Integrated modeling experience

• Integrated setting editing experience

• Integrated Validation experience

• New types persisted as SDM
