84 PowerDesigner
The General page of an attribute group property sheet displays the following
properties:
Property Description
Name Name of the attribute group. It must be a no-colon-name (See
Glossary). Required when the attribute group is global
Code Code of the attribute group. It must be a no-colon-name.
Required when the attribute group is global
Comment Descriptive label of the attribute group
Stereotype Sub-classification used to extend the semantics of an object
without changing its structure. It can be predefined or user-
defined
Reference Name of an attribute group from the current model or any
model opened in the workspace. It must be a qualified name
(See Glossary). If you select an attribute group from another
model, a shortcut is created with the referencing attribute
group. A reference allows you to reuse an attribute group with
all its properties without having to define it again. When a
reference is defined, the name and code properties are grayed.
The name and code are those of the target attribute group
ID ID of the attribute group. Its value must be of type ID and
unique within the model containing this attribute group
The Attributes page of an attribute group property sheet allows you to add
