IAM Model Properties

The model property sheet displays the definition of the current IAM. You can check the last analysis date of your model or add a comment, for example.

To open an IAM property sheet, double-click its Browser entry. The General tab contains the following properties:

Property

Description

Name / Code / Comment

Identify the model. The name should clearly convey the model'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 model. By default the code is auto-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.

Filename

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

Author

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

Version

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

Default diagram

Specifies the diagram that appears by default when you open the model.

Last analysis date

[Read-only] Computed date of the last model analysis, which is updated every time you re-analyze the model.

Keywords

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