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 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. |
|
Cardinality |
Specific number of occurrences that the component instance can have, for example: 0...1. |
|
Component |
Component of which the component instance is an instance. If you change the component name in this box, the name of the component instance is updated in the model. |
|
Component type |
Read-only box that shows the type of the component from which the component instance is coming. |
|
Web service |
Indicates that the component instance is an instance of a Web service component. |
Keywords |
Provide a way of loosely grouping objects through tagging. To enter multiple keywords, separate them with commas. |
