View Reference Properties

To view or edit a view reference'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.

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.
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.
Parent/ Child	Specify the parent and child tables or views linked by the reference. Use the tools to the right of the list to create, browse for, or view the properties of the currently selected object.
Parent role	Specify the roles of the parent and child tables or views in the reference.
Keywords	Provide a way of loosely grouping objects through tagging. To enter multiple keywords, separate them with commas.

Joins Tab

The Joins tab lists the joins defined between parent and child table or views columns. You can specify column pairs on which to base the join using the following tools:

Tool	Description
	Reuse Columns - Create a join by matching parent and child columns that share the same code and data type.
	Insert/Add a Row - Inserts a row before the selected row in the list or at the end of the list to specify another column to join on.
