Tagged Values
Tagged Values are a convenient way of adding additional information to an element, in addition to that directly supported by UML. UML provides the Tagged Value element for just this purpose. Often Tagged Values are used during code generation or by other tools to pass information or operate on elements in particular ways. For more information relating to using Tagged Values see The Tagged Values Window topic.
Add a Tagged Value
To add a Tagged Value to an element, follow the steps below:
- Open the element Properties dialog, and select the Tagged Values tab.
- Click on the New Tag button in the Tagged Values toolbar or press [Ctrl]+[N]. The Tagged Value dialog displays.
- In the Tag field, type the tag name (or click on the drop-down arrow and select a defined tag), then in the Value field type the appropriate value.
- Click on the OK button to save the Tagged Value.
Tip: |
You can define custom tags using a predefined Tagged Value Type. For more information see SDK for Enterprise Architect |
Tagged Values are the preferred method of extending the code generation capabilities of the modeling tool per element / per language.
