Chapter 7 Linking and Synchronizing Models in PowerDesigner


Linking objects with calculated collections

Calculated collections allow you to create lists of associated objects with a user-defined semantic from any type of model.

For more information on calculated collections, see "Defining a calculated collection in a profile" in the "Managing Profiles" chapter in the Advanced User Documentation .

When you add objects to a calculated collection, you can view them in distinct sub-tabs in the Dependencies tab of the selected metaclass. You can click the Impact Analysis button in the Dependencies tab to analyze the impact of a change on the current object on the objects linked to it.

For more information on impact analysis used with requirements and design objects, see the "Monitoring Links Using Impact Analysis" section.
