Chapter 8 Managing Objects
Displaying object properties
Objects have properties displayed on different tabs in their property sheets. In the General tab, most objects display a name, a code, and a comment.
The property sheet also displays tabs for other properties:
- Notes are made up of Descriptions to provide detailed information about the object, and Annotations to contain your own notes regarding the implementation of the object
- Rules that your business follows. A business rule could be a government-imposed law, a customer requirement, or an internal guideline
- Version Info provides details about the object owner, creation, and modification date
- Dependencies list all objects depending on the current object
- Extended dependencies list all influent objects which collaborate with the current object
