You can modify an object's properties from its property sheet. To open an attribute group (or reference to an attribute group) property sheet, double-click its Browser entry in the Attribute Groups folder (or, in the case of a reference to an attribute group, beneath its parent object). The following sections detail the property sheet tabs that contain the properties most commonly entered for attribute groups.
The General tab contains the following properties:
|
Property |
Description |
|---|---|
|
Name |
[unavailable to references to attribute groups] Name of the attribute group, which must be a no-colon-name. Required when the attribute group is global. |
|
Code |
[unavailable to references to attribute groups] Code of the attribute group, which must be a no-colon-name. Required when the attribute group is global. |
|
Comment |
Descriptive label of the attribute group. |
|
Stereotype |
Sub-classification used to extend the semantics of an object without changing its structure. It can be predefined or user-defined. |
|
Reference |
[for references to attribute groups only] Name of an attribute group from the current model or any model opened in the workspace, which must be a qualified name. If you select an attribute group from another model, a shortcut is created with the referencing attribute group. A reference allows you to reuse an attribute group with all its properties without having to define it again. When a reference is defined, the name and code properties are grayed. The name and code are those of the target attribute group |
|
ID |
ID of the attribute group. Its value must be of type ID and unique within the model containing this attribute group |
This tab lists the attributes and attribute groups associated with the attribute group. For information about the tools available on this tab for adding attributes and attribute groups, see Creating an Attribute.
