Click on the 'Details' tab and on the Attributes button.

The Features window displays, showing the 'Attributes' page.

In the 'Type' field, click on the drop-down arrow and select the appropriate type (such as 'int' or 'string').

8

Click on the Save button, and repeat steps 6 to 8 for each remaining component tag attribute (for example: Street, Town, AreaCode).

When you have defined all the component tags, click on the Close button.

Right-click on the Stereotype element and select the 'Features | Attributes' option.

The Features window displays at the 'Attributes' page, for the stereotype.
