Term, Synonym, and Category Properties

To view or edit a term, synonym, or category's properties, double-click its Browser 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

Parent

[synonyms] Specifies the term with which the synonym shares a meaning, and which should be used instead of the synonym.

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.

Reference URL

[terms] Specifies a site, which provides more information about the term.

The following tabs are also available:
  • Synonyms - [terms] Specifies the synonyms of the term, which are not approved for use.
  • Related Terms - [terms] Specifies other terms associated with the term.
  • Categories - [categories] Specifies the sub-categories contained within the category.
  • Terms - [categories] Specifies the terms contained within the category.
