Home >Online Product Documentation >Table of Contents >Redefining Nodes
Once you reference an XML Schema by redefining it, you are able to redefine that XML Schema's complexTypes, simpleTypes, groups, and attributeGroups. This section describes how to redefine nodes using the Diagram tab.
There are two ways to redefine a node: by extension and restriction. An extension extends the base type - adding an element or an attribute definition, for example. A restriction constrains the base type - limiting a type to a certain range of values, for example.
If you define a restriction using a simpleType, the Properties window displays a section that allows you to define the facets that restrict that type, as shown in Figure 309.
Restriction facets include length, minLength, maxLength, and totalDigits. For each facet you specify, you provide the facet name, a value, and, for some facets, whether or not the value is fixed. Note that not all facets apply to all types.
See About Facet Types for simpleTypes for more information on facets.
