To view or edit a view column's properties, double-click its 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.
The General tab contains the following properties:
|
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. By default, these properties are automatically calculated, but can be modified. To return to the default values, click to release the User-defined button to the right of the field. |
Expression |
[read-only] Specifies the qualified name of the view column. |
|
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. |
|
Data Type |
Specifies the view column data type. By default, this property is automatically calculated, but can be modified. To return to the default value, click to release the User-defined button to the right of the field. |
|
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. |
