Organization Unit Properties

You can modify an object's properties from its property sheet. To open an organization unit property sheet, double-click its swimlane symbol header or its Browser entry in the Organization Units folder.

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.
Comment	Specifies a descriptive comment for the object.
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. An organization unit has the following predefined stereotypes: Role – specifies a role a user plays User Group – specifies a group of users Company Organization – specifies an organization as a whole Division – specifies a division in a global structure Service – specifies a service in a global structure
Parent organization	Specifies another organization unit as the parent to this one. For example, you may want to describe an organizational hierarchy between a department Dpt1 and a department manager DptMgr1 with DptMgr1 as the parent organization of Dpt1. The relationship between parent and child organization units can be used to group swimlanes having the same parent. For more information, see Grouping and Ungrouping Swimlanes .
