Chapter 4 Building Physical Diagrams
You can modify an object's properties from its property sheet. To open a view reference property sheet, double-click its diagram symbol or its Browser entry in the View References 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, which may be abbreviated, and should not generally include spaces |
| Comment | Specifies a descriptive label for the view reference |
| Stereotype | Sub-classification used to extend the semantics of an object without changing its structure; it can be predefined or user-defined |
| Parent | Specifies the parent table or view of the view reference. 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 |
| Parent role | Specifies the role of the parent table or view in the view reference. The text is displayed in the diagram, near the parent table or view |
| Child | Specifies the child table or view of the view reference. 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 |
| Child role | Specifies the role of the child table or view in the view reference. The text is displayed in the diagram, near the child table or view |
A view reference also includes joins, that are links between parent columns and child columns.
