Chapter 3 Building Conceptual Data Models
You can modify an object's properties from its property sheet. To open an association property sheet, double-click its diagram symbol or its Browser entry in the Associations folder.
The General tab contains the following 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 association |
| Stereotype | Sub-classification used to extend the semantics of an object without changing its structure; it can be predefined or user-defined |
| Number | Estimated number of occurrences in the physical database for the association (the number of records) |
| Generate | Indicates if the association will generate a table in a PDM |
| Attributes | Data item attached to an association |
| Rules | Business rules associated with the association |
