Glossary Model Properties

The model property sheet displays information about the glossary model.

To open the glossary property sheet, double-click its entry in the Browser Glossary tab. 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 glossary model file.

Conjunctions

Specifies a comma-separated list of small words that are excluded from glossary compliance checks. For example: and, of, to, the.

Name / Code separators

Specify lists of characters that indicate the end of a word in the name and code fields to provide bounding of words for the compliance checking and auto-completion. By default, the characters . (space and dot) are set as separators for the name field and _ (underscore) for the code field.

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 / Repository

Specify the version of the model. You can enter any value in the first field, while the second field displays the repository version.
