Notes
| • | There are several variations of the Properties dialog: |
| • | The dialog for a Table or Stored Procedure element has slight differences on the General page, and a Table (Stored Procedure) Details page instead of a Details page |
| • | The dialog for a Class element of a stereotype other than Table is as shown in General Settings |
| • | The dialog for an element of any other type does not have a Details page |
| • | Port and Part elements have a Property page |
| • | Activity elements have a Behavior page, and Action and Invocation elements (depending on their type) have other pages such as Effect, Trigger and Call pages |
| • | Action Pins have a Pin page |
| • | In all cases, the Properties dialog is an expandable window, which you can stretch to enable longer entry and clearer inspection of the text field values |
| • | The Tagged Values page of the element Properties dialog simply provides the Tagged Values window within the frame of the Properties dialog |
| • | If Tagged Values have been derived from a stereotyped element in a Profile, they are listed on a separate page having the Profile name; they are still listed on the Tagged Values window, in a separate compartment |
