The Teiid Designer provides options or preferences which enable customization of various modeling and UI behaviors. Preferences can be accessed via the Edit > Preferences action on the Main toolbar.
General Teiid Designer preferences include.
Always open editor without prompting To change/edit a model, it must be opened for editing. Checking this box will automatically open the model in an editor if the user attempts to perform a change in a model. If unchecked, the user will be informed that an editor will be opened before the operation is completed.
Check and update imports during save occasionally editing a model may add or remove objects in one model that reference objects in another model. Model Imports keep track of these dependencies within each model. A validation error or warning may appear during a build. Checking this box will automatically check and update imports during the save process. This will result in any unneeded imports being removed from the model or any required imports added to the model. If unchecked, no updating of imports will be performed.
Several diagram preferences are available to customize your diagrams.
Notations - Standard diagram notation for Teiid Designer is based on UML notation. Future releases may include alternate notations.
Routers - The relationship link type for Package and Custom diagrams (Foreign Key - Primary Key relationships) can be customized. Available options include Orthogonal (default), Direct or Manual (user defined breakpoints).
Font Settings - Select font type, style and size.
Background Color Settings - Select a unique background color for each diagram type to help differentiate between types.
Model Size - Displaying very large diagram may take a considerably long time. This preference allows users to set an upper limit on the number of objects to display in a diagram. If this limit is exceeded, a warning is displayed to the user and the diagram is not constructed.
Relationship Options - UML-type relationships can be customized in a couple of ways. Role Names and Multiplicity labels can be shown or hidden using the check-boxes labeled Show Role Names and Show Multiplicity.
Diagram print options are stored as preferences. These can be accessed through
this preference page, by right-click on diagram Page Setup action 
,
or via the Modify Diagram Printing Preferences action located on the vertical diagram toolbar .
XML Document Mapping Preferences provide ways to customize XML Mapping Diagram and Recursion Editor behavior.
Table Editor Preferences provide a way to customize the order and the information content for each model object type.
Transformation Editor Preferences provide a way to customize SQL formatting, diagram layout, and default view entity properties.
Validation Preferences provide a way to customize the severity of some of the rules checked during model validation.
Validation preference pages, shown below, include Core, Data Access, Relational Model, XML-related and XML Schema (XSD) models.
Increasing the severity level to error will prevent you from testing your VDB or deploying a web service if violations of that preference are found during validation.
SQL Explorer Preferences provide a way to customize the result preview row count and the actual result row count. If a query plan should be generated each time a query is executed, keep the Generate query plans preference checked. Note: Changes to this preference do not affect existing connections.
SQL Editor Preferences provide a way to customize the font properties of the editor and the separator character used when exporting results to the clipboard.
