Chapter 10 PowerDesigner Public Metamodel

Navigating using object property sheets

You can use the Dependency tab in the property sheets of metamodel classes to observe:

• Associations tab: you can customize the filter in order to display association roles, this provides a list of the collections of the current object
• Generalizes tab: Displays a list of generalization links where the current object is the parent. You can use this list to display all the children of the current class. Child classes inherit attributes from the parent class and do not display derived attributes
• Specializes tab: Displays the parent of the current object. The current class inherits attributes from this parent
• Shortcuts tab displays the list of shortcuts created for the current object

You can use the Associations tab in the property sheets of metamodel classes to have a list of migrated associations for the current class.
