Rational Rhapsody properties

Properties are user-defined, tagged values that can be attached to any modeling element. You can think of each element as having its own set of properties. IBM® Rational® Rhapsody® tools, such as the code generator, reference many different properties. You can modify properties to customize the tool to work in a certain way, such as setting the default color of a state box in a statechart. You can change properties at the site, diagram, package, configuration, or class level (or even at the individual operation or attribute level).

Only properties that are relevant for a particular element are accessible from that element. The element on which you set a property determines its effectiveness. In other words, setting a property for a configuration provides a default for elements in the configuration. Precedence goes to the element with the lowest level of granularity. Meaning, properties explicitly defined for an individual operation would override those set at the project level.
