To view or edit an entity'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. |
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. |
|
Value |
Value of the entity. A string of characters in the case of a predefined value. A URI in the case of an XML or a non-XML file. For example: http://something.com/pictures/logo.gif. |
|
Public |
URI reference identifying the non-XML object. For example: pictures/gif. |
|
System |
URI reference identifying the application that will process the non-XML object. For example: user/local/pictureViewer. |
|
Notation |
Used to define and process non-XML objects within an XML model. |
|
Parameter |
If selected, the entity is parsed within the DTD, and not within the XML document as for a general entity. A parameter entity allows you to predefine a value within a DTD. This predefined value can then be easily changed within the DTD. |
Keywords |
Provide a way of loosely grouping objects through tagging. To enter multiple keywords, separate them with commas. |
