Project Properties

To view or edit a project'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. 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.

File name

Specifies the location of the project file. This field is empty if the project has never been saved.

Author

Specifies the author of the project. If you enter nothing, the Author field in diagram title boxes displays the user name from the project property sheet Version Info tab. If you enter a space, the Author field displays nothing.

Version

Specifies the version of the project. You can use this box to display the repository version or a user defined version of the project. This parameter is defined in the Title page of the project display preferences.

Default diagram

Specifies the diagram displayed by default when opening the project.

Keywords

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