Repository Document and Object Properties

Click any document or model object in the repository explorer to view its property sheet.

The following tabs are available:
  • General - displays basic information about the object. Users with the appropriate rights can edit the object comment, description, and annotation. For shortcuts, click the entry in the Target object field to open the object that the shortcut references.

  • Properties - [models, packages, and model objects] displays the properties of the object.

  • Diagram - [diagrams] displays the diagram. Requires that models are checked in with the Save diagrams for the PowerDesigner Portal option (see Check-In Parameters). Click on symbols in the diagram to go to the related object.

  • Sub-objects - [objects] displays a list of this type of sub-object (for example, table columns, keys, or indexes, or class attributes or operations).

  • Relationships - [objects] displays lists of the other objects with which the object is related.

  • Versions - displays the various versions of the document stored in the repository, along with information about the current version of the document, its creation and last modification. For external application files, click the icon in the Download column to download the file.

  • Analysis - displays the impact of a change to the object (impact analysis) and identifies the objects that take part in the definition of the object (lineage analysis) (see Impact and Lineage Analysis in the PowerDesigner Portal).

  • Permissions - [models, packages and other documents] lists those users and groups with permissions on the document (see Adding User or Group Permissions for a Repository Item).

  • Compare - [models and objects] allows you to compare different versions of models and objects (see Comparing Model and Object Versions).

  • Subscriptions - [projects, folders, and models] allows you to subscribe to email notifications of changes to the object (see Subscribing to Change Notifications).
