Chapter 8 Managing Objects
You can access the file object properties by double-clicking its name in the diagram.
All file objects share the following common properties:
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | The name of the item which should be clear and meaningful, and should convey the item's purpose to non-technical users |
| Code | The technical name of the item used for generating code or scripts, which may be abbreviated, and should not generally include spaces |
| Comment | Descriptive label for the file object |
| Stereotype | Sub-classification used to extend the semantics of the file object. You can create stereotypes in the Profile category of the resource file attached to the current model |
| Location type (Embedded, External or URL) | Indicates whether the file object is stored within the model (Embedded), or externally (MS Word file, URL, etc.) |
| Location | Actual place where the file is stored (grayed when the file object is embedded) |
| Extension | Extension of the file object name that indicates the application to open when the file object is embedded |
| Generate | File object is automatically included among the objects generated from the model when you launch the inter-model generation process |
| Artifact | Designates the file object as an integrated part of the application |
You can type stereotypes directly in the Stereotype column of the object property sheet or select a value from the list if you have previously defined stereotypes in an embedded or imported extended model definition (.XEM).
For more information on extended model definitions, see section Working with Extended Model Definitions.
