The Properties tab lists
the properties associated with the selected Rational Rhapsody element:
- The top left column on this tab shows the metaclass
and property (for example, Dependency and UsageType).
- The top right column shows the default for the
selected property, if there is one (for example, Specification).
- The box at the bottom portion of the Properties tab
shows the definition for the property selected in the upper left column
of the tab. The definition display shows the names of the subject,
metaclass, property, and the definition for the property.
Note: Rational Rhapsody documentation
use a notation method with double colons to identify the location
of a specific property. For example, for the location of
CG::Dependency::UsageType,
"CG" is the subject, "Dependency" is the metaclass, and "UsageType"
is the property.
