Action property sheet General tab

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: Add an event to an action by choosing the event name from the Trigger Event list Create a new event by clicking the Create tool beside the Trigger Event list Select an event created in the current model or other models by clicking the Select Trigger Event tool beside the Trigger Event list. This opens a selection window. You can then select an event from all open models in the workspace When a trigger event is defined on an action, the inverse relationship is displayed in the event property sheet (in the Triggered Objects tabbed tab of the Dependencies tab). For more information on the trigger event property, see "Events". You can click the Properties tool beside this box to display the event property sheet or you can click the Select Trigger Event tool to select an event in another package
