Chapter 4 Building Business Process Diagrams
You can modify an object's properties from its property sheet. To open a role association property sheet, double-click its diagram symbol or its Browser entry in the Role Associations 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. |
| Orientation | Specifies the direction of the role association, provided the Direction option is selected in the display preferences. You can choose between:
|
| Source | Specifies the object that the role association leads from. It can be an organization unit or a process. You can use the tools to the right of the list to create an object, browse the complete tree of available objects, or view the properties of the currently selected object. You can also open the property sheet of the source object by clicking the Source button located at the top part of the current object property sheet. |
| Destination | Specifies the object that the role association leads to. It can be an organization unit or a process. You can use the tools to the right of the list to create an object, browse the complete tree of available objects or view the properties of the currently selected object. You can also open the property sheet of the destination object by clicking the Destination button located at the top part of the current object property sheet. |
