The Features window enables you to change the features
a flow, such as its name or flow ends.
About this task
A flow
has the following features:
Name specifies the name of the flow. By
default, the flow is named using the following convention:
<source>_<target>[_###]
In this convention, the source and target are end1 and end2 of
the flow, based on the direction (end1 is the source
in bidirectional flows as well as flows from end1 to end2); _### specifies
additional numbering when the name is already used.
L specifies the label for the element, if
any.
Stereotype specifies the stereotype of the
flow, if any. They are enclosed in guillemets, for example «s1» and
enable you to tag classes for documentation purposes.
Note: The COM stereotypes are constructive; that is, they
affect code generation.
Flow Ends specifies how the information
travels, from the source (End1) to the target (End2).
To change either end, use the list to select a new source or target
from the selection tree.
Direction specifies the direction in which
the information flows. To invert the flow, or to make it bidirectional,
use the appropriate value from the list.
Description describes the flow. This field
can include a hyperlink. For more information, see Using project units.
