Data Modeling - add tagged value to column
« on: May 04, 2019, 12:21:11 am »
HI,

I am using EA for data modeling, I would like to add tagged values to the table and column properties.  I can successfully add them to the table properties, but not to the column.

Is there a way to do this?  If not, is there another way for me to associate information with columns.

Thanks
Jane

Why can't you add tagged values to columns?

if you want to do this structurally you should look into extending the EAUML::Table and EAUML::Column stereotypes with your own stereotypes in a UML Profile.
Then add those in an MDG.

I am pretty new to Enterprise Architect....I can't find any option to add a tagged value at the column level, I have tried from the properties window and from the project browser.  I will look into extending the EAUML::Table and EAUML::Column stereotypes.....this is new to me too :-(
Thanks

You can to open the tagged values window. Once you select something that allows tags you can edit them in that window. Most elements also have a tab in their properties where you can do the same. EA's GUI is a bit strange. Like from the planet Sparx in the outer vicinities of the Horse Head nebula.

Thanks for your help. 

I have found the EAUML::Table stereotype but I cannot find the EAUML::Column stereotype. 
Also, I have tried everything I can think of and I cannot get any tagged values to associate with a column.

Is it possible that I have the functionality turned off somewhere?  Or, is it possible that tagged values are just not available on columns when creating data models?

Thanks
