Property |
Description |
|---|---|
Article |
[read-only] Specifies the article to which the column belongs (see Articles (DMM)). |
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. |
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. |
|
Source column |
Specifies the source table or view column to replicate. Click the Properties tool to the right of the field to display the source object property sheet. |
|
Remote column |
Specifies the remote table or view column to which the column will be replicated. |
|
Data type |
Specifies the data type of the column. |
|
Length |
Specifies the maximum length of the data type. |
|
Precision |
Specifies the maximum number of places after the decimal point. |
Keywords |
Provide a way of loosely grouping objects through tagging. To enter multiple keywords, separate them with commas. |
