New profile
« on: January 12, 2007, 08:40:26 am »
I have created a new profile that implements a new stereotype called Business Driver.  How do I restrict/redefine the stereotypes in the new element?  It seems to involve the Enumeration type but the documentation doesn't say how to connect things in the Profile Diagram.

Also, Is there anyway of stopping the type box containing the name of the new element?

I am quite new to creating profiles so please forgive any stupid questions I may ask.  ???

I already agree with the comments about the inconsistencies in the EA GUI  :P

For your first question, take a look at enumerations and tagged value types in the Profile section of the documentation. It can take a couple of readings, but you'll get it. What you'll end up with is a stereotype that will only accept certain values, which are presented to the user as a drop-down list.

What exactly do you mean by your second question?

Thanks for the initial response.

After importing the Profile I drag the element named Business Driver onto a diagram.  This is not only still called a requirement but has Business Driver as an option in the element's Type drop-down list.

I am trying to create a new element called Business Driver which in a similar fasion to a Requirement will be of type Functional, Performance etc.

Hope this clarifies.
