Including ports and multiple relations

By default, the table view and matrix view show relations between objects (even if ports are involved) and display multiple relations between elements if they exist. These views allow you to communicate your design information easily in a tabular or matrix format.

About this task

The Model::TableLayout::ShowContainerElementForPorts property controls this capability. By default, this property is set to Checked. Therefore, for table views if ports are encountered when searching for connections of relations, Rational Rhapsody displays the parent element of the port instead of the port itself. For matrix views, the product automatically looks at child ports of elements and finds the relations to other elements.

Change the setting for the property if you do not want this property to be active.

Procedure

To change the property setting:

  1. Open the Features window for the table view or matrix view.
  2. On the Properties tab, locate the Model::TableLayout::ShowContainerElementForPorts property.
  3. Clear or select the check box next to the property name.
    • Clear it to disable this property.
    • Select it if you want to show relations between objects (even if ports are involved) and display multiple relations between elements if they exist.
  4. Click OK.
    Note: When there are multiple relations, options such as Features and Locate are disabled.
