Chapter 4 Building Business Process Diagrams


Resource properties

You can modify an object's properties from its property sheet. To open a resource property sheet, double-click its diagram symbol or its Browser entry in the Resources folder.

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 Specifies a descriptive comment for the object.
Stereotype Extends the semantics of an object derived from existing objects but specific to your needs. You can type stereotypes directly in this field, or add stereotypes to the list by specifying them in your model's resource file or in an extended model definition.
Number ID Specifies an incrementing number to help you identify resources. The default value is 1. You can modify this value at any time and type an integer greater than 0. Any change you make will not, by default, affect other numbers in the series unless you right-click the diagram background and select Renumber Data Store IDs in the contextual menu. The whole series is incrementally renumbered.
