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 beyond the core UML definition. 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 data type of the object node. You can use the tools to the right of the list to create a classifier, browse the complete tree of available classifiers or view the properties of the currently selected classifier. |
|
State |
Specifies the state of the object node. You can type the name of a state here or, if a classifier has been specified as the data type, select one of its states from the list. You can use the tools to the right of the list to create a state, browse the complete tree of available states or view the properties of the currently selected state. |
Keywords |
Provide a way of loosely grouping objects through tagging. To enter multiple keywords, separate them with commas. |
