Supported Attributes

icon

Contains the bitmap file location of the 16x16-pixel icon displayed beside all elements (except Package) that have the given stereotype, in the Project Browser.

For a transparent background, you can use light grey - RGB (192,192,192).

For this attribute to work correctly, also set the _metatype attribute (see below).

_image

If set to 1, switches on the Show Element Compartments: Responsibilities setting.

_Runstate

If set to 1, switches on the Hide Object Runstate in current diagram setting.

_SourceAggregation

Sets the aggregation type at the end of a connector; set one of _SourceAggregation or _TargetAggregation.

Set to 1 for shared, 2 for composite.

_SourceMultiplicity

Sets the multiplicity of the source element, such as 1..* or 0..1.

_SourceNavigability

If the connector is non-navigable, set this attribute to Non-Navigable.

If other values are more appropriate, use the Direction attribute (in the Connector Class in the Automation Interface).

Connector Class

_subtypeProperty

Specifies the fully qualified name of the Tagged Value that is used to generate a popup submenu each time an element with the stereotype is created from the Toolbox.

The Tagged Value is an enumeration and the submenu consists of a command for each enumeration literal. The Tagged Value is initialized with whichever command is selected on the submenu; if none is selected (such as if the user clicks off the submenu) then the default value is used as normal.

For example, if you create a BPMN 2 Activity element, a submenu displays listing the task types such as BusinessRule, Manual and Receive. Selecting one of these values sets it as the value of the taskType Tagged Value.

The Tagged Value is effectively the Activity's subtype; in the BPMN 2 profile, in the format profile::stereotype::tag, the subtypeProperty for the Activity stereotype would be:

BPMN2.0::Activity::taskType.

_Tag

If set to 1, switches on the Show Element Compartments: Tags setting.

_tagGroupings

Maps the Tagged Values into the _tagGroups (below) displayed in the Tagged Values window, in the form:

tagName1=groupName1;tagName2=groupName2;
 

_tagGroups

A comma-separated list of required groups in the order in which they are to be displayed in the Tagged Values window. For example:

groupName1,groupName2,groupName3

_tagGroupStates

Maps _tagGroups displayed in the Tagged Values window to the state of open or closed, in the form:

groupName1=open;groupName2=closed;

_TagInh

If set to 1, switches on the Show Element Compartments: Inherited Tags setting.

_TargetAggregation

Sets the aggregation type at the end of a connector; set one of _SourceAggregation or _TargetAggregation.

Set to 1 for shared, 2 for composite.

_TargetMultiplicity

Sets the multiplicity of the target element, such as 1..* or 0..1.

_TargetNavigability

If the connector is non-navigable, set this attribute to Non-Navigable.

If other values are more appropriate, use the Direction attribute (in the Connector Class in the Automation Interface).
