Chapter 3 Building Conceptual and Logical Diagrams
You can modify an object's properties from its property sheet. To open an association property sheet, double-click its diagram symbol or its Browser entry in the 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, which may be abbreviated, and should not generally include spaces. |
| Comment | Specifies a descriptive label for the association. |
| Stereotype | Sub-classification used to extend the semantics of an object without changing its structure; it can be predefined or user-defined. |
| Number | Specifies the estimated number of occurrences in the physical database for the association (the number of records). |
| Generate | Specifies that the association will generate a table in a PDM. |
| Attributes | Specifies the data item attached to an association. |
| Rules | Specifies the business rules associated with the association. |
