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. 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. |
|
Entity1 Entity2 |
Specifies the two entities linked by the relationship. Use the tools to the right of the list to create, browse for, or view the properties of the currently selected entity. |
|
Generate |
Specifies that the relationship should be generated as a reference when you generate a PDM. |
|
Cardinalities |
Contains data about cardinality as the number of instances of one entity in relation to another entity. |
Keywords |
Provide a way of loosely grouping objects through tagging. To enter multiple keywords, separate them with commas. |
