Measure properties

You can modify an object's properties from its property sheet. To open a measure property sheet, double-click its diagram symbol or its Browser entry. The following sections detail the property sheet tabs that contain the properties most commonly entered for measures.

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 measure
Stereotype Sub-classification used to extend the semantics of an object without changing its structure; it can be predefined or user-defined
Fact Specifies the parent fact of the measure
Formula Indicates if the measure is a computed expression and allows to define this expression
