Condition |
Specifies the condition which instances must meet in order to access the criterion extensions. You can use any expressions valid for the PowerDesigner GTL .if macro (see Customizing Generation with GTL. You can reference the extended attributes defined at the metaclass level in the condition, but not those defined in the criterion itself. For example, in a PDM, you can customize the symbols of fact tables by creating a criterion that will test the type of the table using the following condition: (%DimensionalType% == "1") %DimensionalType% is an attribute of the BaseTable object, which has a set of defined values, including "1", which corresponds to "fact".
