You can modify an object's properties from its property sheet. To open a node property sheet, double-click its diagram symbol or its Browser entry in the Nodes folder. The following sections detail the property sheet tabs that contain the properties most commonly entered for nodes.
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 |
Descriptive comment for the node. |
|
Stereotype |
Extends the semantics of the object beyond the core UML definition. |
|
Cardinality |
Specific numbers of instances that the node can have, for example: 0...1. |
|
Network address |
Address or machine name. |
The Component Instances tab lists all instances of components that can run or execute on the current node (see Component Instances (OOM)). You can specify component instances directly on this tab and they will be displayed within the node symbol.
