Using the design panel


Subtitle

The design panel refers to the design tab of a properties window. To display it, in the main menu, choose Display / Show design panel. You will see a large window appearing at the bottom of your screen.

This useful tool enables you to quickly display and edit the properties of any semantic object . With this tool you may work on a single or multiple selection at the same time. If you select more than one object, only the common properties and the common values will be displayed. Of these common properties, the white ones refer to common values and gray ones refer to different values.

Gray properties:
Name, Physical Name, Length, Null Possible ... have different values.

White properties:
Alias, UML Stereotype, Type, Nbr. Decimals, Common Item ... all have common values.



Be careful, changes are instantaneous on the design panel. You do not need to click Apply to validate the changes.
