Property

Description

Parent

[read-only] Specifies the name of the parent node and cell to which the action belongs.

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.

Multiple

When selected, specifies that one or more documents of the selected type can be created.

Mandatory

When selected, specifies that at least one document of the selected type must be created.

Keywords

Provide a way of loosely grouping objects through tagging. To enter multiple keywords, separate them with commas.
