Working in Classifier Table Editors

In the system structure model, you edit certain classifiers such as the attributes and operations of a class or the properties of an enumeration type using the table editor.

What is Edited

Properties of certain classifiers are edited in the classifier table editor, e.g. those of classes and components but also associations.

For each type of subelement there is a tab in which the elements of this type are shown as rows in a table.

The table columns correspond to the subelement properties. The order corresponds to that in the Properties area in the Properties tool window and cannot be modified.

Right-clicking on the column head opens a drop-down list where you can select the displayed properties.

A table editor can be opened for the following elements of the system structure model:

  • Associations with table for association ends
  • Enumeration types with tables for enumeration literal, attribute, operation and association
  • Classes with tables for attribute, port, operation, signal reception and association
  • Components with tables for attribute, port, operation, signal reception and association
  • Table Operations for Parameters
  • Interfaces with tables for attribute, operation, template parameter, association
