Customising Properties Page

[Deepak Mohan]

Hi,
I'm new to EA and trying to learn EA ver 12.0.  I am building a business capability model and I am using tags to add additional attributes to the classes that I am creating.  While I have defined the new tags, I would like to create the values which I can pick for them.  Example, Tag Name: Hierarchy.  When I select that I should be able to choose from a set of pre-defined values.  Is this possible in EA 12?

Secondly, is it possible to change the fields on the properties main page?

Sorry, if this has been discussed before.  I did search for this in the forum but was unable to find any relevant discussion around this.

Hi Deepak, and welcome to the forum.

You can create a tagged value type with a specific set of allowed values.
In the UML Types / Tagged Value Types dialog, enter the following Detail:

Code: [Select]

Type=Enum;
Values=Value_1,Value_2,Value_3;
Default=Value_1;Default is optional.

Once you've created the tag type, it will be available as a selection when you create a new tagged value in an element.
Enums are just one example of what are known as structured tags. Here's the complete list.

As to selecting which properties are visible where in the properties dialog, no, that's not configurable.

Hope this helps,
