Hierarchy Properties

You can modify an object's properties from its property sheet. To open a hierarchy property sheet, double-click its Browser entry. The following sections detail the property sheet tabs that contain the properties most commonly entered for hierarchies.

The General tab contains the following properties:

Property	Description
Name	Specifies the name of the item, which should be clear and meaningful, and should convey the item's purpose to non-technical users
Code	Specifies the technical name of the object, which is used for generating code or scripts, which may be abbreviated, and should not generally include spaces
Comment	Specifies a descriptive label for the hierarchy
Stereotype	Sub-classification used to extend the semantics of an object without changing its structure; it can be predefined or user-defined
Dimension	Specifies the parent dimension of the hierarchy

The following tabs are also available:

Attributes - lists the attributes associated with the hierarchy (see Attributes (PDM)).
