You can create a stereotype within a metaclass, a criterion, or another stereotype.
Right-click a metaclass, criterion, or stereotype, and select New > Stereotype.
A new stereotype is created with a default name.
Type a stereotype name in the Name box, and fill in any of the other properties that are relevant.
Once you have created the stereotype, you can define extensions like a custom tool, or custom checks for the stereotype. These extensions will apply to all metaclass instances that carry the stereotype.
