Attribute Group Properties

To view or edit attribute group's properties, double-click its Browser or list entry. The property sheet tabs and fields listed here are those available by default, before any customization of the interface by you or an administrator.

The General tab contains the following properties:

Property

Description

Name/Code/Comment

Identify the object. The name should clearly convey the object's purpose to non-technical users, while the code, which is used for generating code or scripts, may be abbreviated, and should not normally include spaces. Neither the name nor code should contain colons. You can optionally add a comment to provide more detailed information about the object. By default the code is generated from the name by applying the naming conventions specified in the model options. To decouple name-code synchronization, click to release the = button to the right of the Code field.

Name and Code are read-only for references to attribute groups.

Stereotype

Extends the semantics of the object. You can enter a stereotype directly in this field, or add stereotypes to the list by specifying them in an extension file.

Reference

[for references to attribute groups] Specifies the group being referenced. Select a group in the current model from the list or use the Browse tool to select a group from any model opened in the workspace.

Disables the name and code properties.

ID

Specifies the ID of the object, which must be unique within the model.

Keywords

Provide a way of loosely grouping objects through tagging. To enter multiple keywords, separate them with commas.

Attributes Tab

This tab lists the attributes and attribute groups associated with the attribute group. For information about the tools available on this tab, see Creating an Attribute.
