View reference properties

You can double-click any view reference symbol in a diagram to display its 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 view reference
Stereotype Sub-classification used to extend the semantics of an object without changing its structure; it can be predefined or user-defined
Parent Parent table or view of the view reference
Parent role Role of the parent table or view in the view reference. The text appears in the diagram, near the parent table or view
Child Child table or view of the view reference
Child role Role of the child table or view in the view reference. The text appears in the diagram, near the child table or view

A view reference also includes joins, that are links between parent columns and child columns.
