Using linked models for inter-model communication

Related Topics ... Overview: Communicating Between Models How to Use the Linked Model Builder

When one model references another using a Linked Model builder, the first model can access the public methods of the linked-to model in the same way that it accesses its own methods. (Note that there are also other builders that also create a Linked Model in the WebApp, such as the Model Container builder. These have the same effect.) The primary model invokes, either in an Action List or in a Method, the public method by specifying it as <Linked Model Name>.<Public Method Name>.

We can use the methods in the linked model to send data from the primary model to the linked model or to retrieve data from the linked model.
