We are here describing the general trends of their Collisional-Radiative type modeling including some examples. It is shown how the atomic data to be used in such modelings are determining the global plasma properties description and therefore data evaluation is indispensable for obtaining a satisfactory optical diagnostics. %8 2003-12-01
