Framework matrix action property sheet Detail tab

The Detail tab contains the following properties.

Property	Description
Type	Specifies the nature of the document to attach to the framework matrix cells. You can choose one of the following types: Model – specifies a PowerDesigner model (see Example: Specifying a Model action). Diagram – specifies a PowerDesigner diagram (see Example: Specifying a Diagram action). List – specifies a PowerDesigner model object list (see Example: Specifying a List action). Generation – specifies a PowerDesigner model generated from another PowerDesigner model (see Example: Specifying a Generation action). File – specifies an external file (see Example: Specifying a File action). Matrix – specifies a PowerDesigner dependency matrix (see Example: Specifying a Matrix action).
Default document name	[Model, Diagram, and File only] Specifies the model, diagram or file name created by default in the Browser.
Model type	[not available for File and Dependency Matrix] Specifies a model type to create, for example Enterprise Architecture Model.
Document template	[not available for Generation and Dependency Matrix] Specifies the model or file template on which the model or file to create is based, for example a PDM, an LDM, or a .doc, a .xls etc. Click the Ellipsis button to browse for a file on your system.
Model language	[not available for File and Dependency Matrix] Specifies a target language associated with the model to create, for example Analysis for a BPM or Java for an OOM. Select a model language in the list. If you do not specify a language, your system default model language is used.
Diagram type	[Model and Diagram only] Specifies a diagram type for the model, for example Class Diagram for an OOM, or Business Process Diagram for a BPM.
Extended model definition	[not available for File and Dependency Matrix] Specifies an extended model definition attached to the model, for example SIMUL8 for a BPM.
Object type	[List only] Specifies the model object type in the list, for example entity, process, table, class etc.
Object stereotype	[List only] Specifies a stereotype to filter the metaclass, for example a <<cluster>> stereotype on an extended object in a PDM targeted for the Oracle Version 9i DBMS.
Dependency matrix	[Dependency Matrix only] Specifies a dependency matrix definition between model objects. Click the Create tool to create a new dependency matrix.
File type	[File only] Specifies the extension of the file to create, for example, .doc, .xsl, .txt, etc.
Source model type	[Generation only] Specifies the model type from which to generate the model, for example Business Process Model, Conceptual Data Model etc.
Source cell	[Generation only] Specifies the cell containing the model type from which to generate the new model.
