Dialog Show compartment entries...

Context

Configuration requirements for displaying compartments only take affect when creating or adding nodes in diagrams. They set the initial value. They do not influence existing nodes.

It is possible to show or hide all permissible compartments of a selected node, apart from the node itself, according to the configuration made. You can set whether the node should be shown as expanded or collapsed.

All compartments of the node are listed in the Compartment column in the dialog box. You can reverse the alphabetical sort order by clicking on the column heading.

Compartment visibility can be set to make the diagram easier to read and control what information is shown.

You can set the following Visibility for compartments:

• Hidden
  The compartment and its content is hidden.
• [Shown]
  The compartment is shown as closed or open.
  • Open
    The Compartment is shown with the compartment's details.
  • Closed
    The Compartment is not shown.
• Unchanged
  The value previously set is not changed. This setting is particularly advantageous for multiple selection.

You can maintain compartments to set whether model elements are automatically shown as compartments which are created outside of this diagram and can be maintained in this compartment. This generally concerns compartments which show contained elements which cannot be versioned.Compartments which results from other information such as e.g. the Realized Interfaces compartment, cannot be maintained and need to be added manually.

The automatic value does not mean that the compartment content is always complete.An attribute can e.g. always be removed from the Attribute compartment and reinserted using the selection button that appears. Maintenance is not affected.

You can set the following Maintenance for Compartments:

• Automatic
  Innovator will carry out the maintenance. Elements created elsewhere are automatically added to this compartment.
• User-defined
  The user will carry out the maintenance. Elements created elsewhere are not automatically added to this compartment.The modeler adds these elements manually if needs be.
  
• Unchanged
  The value previously set is not changed. This value appears in the selection if maintenance is not possible for the corresponding compartment, which means both other values are also not valid.
