Attaching an attribute to a domain

Chapter 2 Building an Object-Oriented Model

The list of attributes appears.

2Click the attribute that you want to modify. An arrow appears at the beginning of the line.

3Modify any of the properties of the attribute directly in the list.

4Click OK.

If you attach an attribute to a domain, the domain supplies the data type and related data characteristics. It may also indicate check parameters, and business rules.

ϖTo attach an attribute to a domain:

1Double-click a class in the model. The class property sheet appears.

2Click the Attributes tab.

The Attributes page appears listing attributes associated with the class.

3Click an attribute in the list.

An arrow appears at the beginning of the line.

4Click the Properties tool. or

Double click the arrow at the beginning of the line.
