Operation Tagged Values
Both operations and the parameters assigned to operations can have Tagged Values associated with them. Tagged Values offer a convenient extension mechanism for UML objects, so you can define any tags you need and then assign values to them using this form.
Tagged Values are written to the XMI output, and can be input to other third party tools for code generation or other activities.
You can add and edit Tagged Values on an operation or parameter using either the:
- 'Tags' tab of the Properties window for the operation or
- 'Tagged Values' tab of the 'Properties' dialog for the operation
If the operation has any parameters, the parameter names and Tagged Values are listed on the 'Tagged Values' or 'Tags' tab underneath the Operation name and Tagged Values.
