To view or edit a simple type's properties, double-click its diagram symbol or 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.

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. Neither the name nor code should contain colons. 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. Names and codes must be unique among all simple and complex types. |
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. |
|
Derivation |
[required] [XSD only] Specifies a derivation method for the data type to extend or restrict its values. Resets the Type property to <None>. Click the Properties tool to further define the derivation (see Derivations: Extensions, Restrictions, Lists and Unions (XSM)). |
|
Final |
Prevents derivation of the object. |
|
ID |
Specifies the ID of the object, which must be unique within the model. |
Keywords |
Provide a way of loosely grouping objects through tagging. To enter multiple keywords, separate them with commas. |
