Chapter 5 Building Dynamic Diagrams
The General Tab contains the following properties:
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Specifies the name of the item, which should be clear and meaningful, and should convey the item's purpose to non-technical users. |
| Code | Specifies the technical name of the object, which is used for generating code or scripts. |
| Comment | Descriptive comment for the object. |
| Stereotype | Extends the semantics of the object beyond the core UML definition.
You can modify an existing stereotype or create a new one from the object language. You can also use the extended model definition to create new sets of stereotypes. For more information on how to manipulate categories and entries in the object language, see the "The Resource Editor" chapter in the General Features Guide. For more information on extended model definitions, see the "Working with extended model definitions" section, in the "Managing Objects" chapter in the General Features Guide . |
| Organization unit | Specifies the organization unit linked to the activity and also allows you to assign the Committee Activity value to a decomposed activity to graphically show the links between organization units designed as swimlanes and sub-activities. A Committee Activity is an activity realized by more than one organization unit.
You can click the Ellipsis button beside the Organization unit list to create a new organization unit in the List of Organization Units or click the Properties tool to display the organization unit property sheet. For more information on organization units, see "Organization Units". For more information on committee activities, see "Displaying a committee activity". |
| Composite status | Specifies whether the activity is decomposed into sub-activities. You can choose between:
If you revert the activity from Decomposed to Atomic status, then any sub-activities that you have created will be deleted. |
