Use Case Association Properties

To view or edit an association'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 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.
Orientation	Defines the direction of the association. You can choose between: Primary Actor – the association leads from the actor to the use case Secondary Actor – the association leads from the use case to the actor
Source	Specifies the object that the association leads from. Use the tools to the right of the list to create, browse for, or view the properties of the currently selected object.
Destination	Specifies the object that the association leads to. Use the tools to the right of the list to create, browse for, or view the properties of the currently selected object.
Keywords	Provide a way of loosely grouping objects through tagging. To enter multiple keywords, separate them with commas.
