Keywords

CaseTalk knows a set of reserved keywords which can be used as attribute defaults or in sql macro replacements. The keywords tab allows to add you own set of keywords which upon evaluation will be replaced by the specified value. In addition the task labels can be extended here.

Services

CaseTalk integrates with optional online webservices to augment the functionality of modeling.

ChatGPT

The well known generative text AI is put to use for a narrow purpose. Augment the OTFT Dialog with plural, abbreviations, aliases, definition and a comment. Additionally any text file in CaseTalk with a text, can be used to prompt ChatGPT for a response, by simply activating it using a context menu.

For that to work, an API needs to be obtained.

DeepL

An online translation service which can be used in text files, expression edit dialogs, and the dialog to manage the vocabularies across the model.

To activate this service, fetch your API key, and you're good to go.

Ntfy

Ntfy is a free open source platform to send notifications to multiple devices and subscribers. In CaseTalk this is embraced to ease the communication with your peers by quickly selecting something and broadcast the selected items as text. Simply press Ctrl+Shift+N. Ntfy comes with many apps and can be downloaded here.

Advanced

Re-Factoring: These options make advanced editing menu items visible in the repository task menu. These clearly deviate from the traditional and formal method of FCO-IM, and are added only for advanced and experienced modellers who feel the need to create otft's first and add expression later. Well-formednes rules still check the model and require verified expressions.
