Chapter 5 Building Dynamic Diagrams
You can modify an object's properties from its property sheet. To open an object node property sheet, double-click its diagram symbol or its Browser entry in the Object Nodes 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 | Descriptive comment for the object. |
| Stereotype | Extends the semantics of the object beyond the core UML definition. |
| Data type | Specifies the data type of the object node. You can use the tools to the right of the list to create a classifier, browse the complete tree of available classifiers or view the properties of the currently selected classifier. |
| State | Specifies the state of the object node. You can type the name of a state here or, if a classifier has been specified as the data type, select one of its states from the list. You can use the tools to the right of the list to create a state, browse the complete tree of available states or view the properties of the currently selected state. |
