The following table lists all properties for a specific element. Not all properties might be visible when an element is added, or an existing element is selected. Some properties only become visible when a dependent property is set to a specific value.

Property |
Function |
|---|---|
| (Name) | Specifies the logical name of the selected element. The following are reserved words and cannot be used to name an element. SUPER, COMPONENT, THIS, and OWNER. |
| Author | Read-only. The identifier of the person who created the selected element. |
| AutomaticTab | Cursor automatically tabs to next field on a presentation screen at runtime. Note: This option is applicable only to the Presentation and Winform Client. |

| Description | Specifies a short description of the selected element. |
| FullSuppression | Display a zero numeric value as spaces. |
| Inherits | Specifies a class from which the selected class inherits. By leaving the field empty or deleting an existing entry you are specifying that the selected class has no inheritance. |
| IsConstant | An object that is constant cannot have its value changed in logic. This property is enabled when the Multiplicity property is set to a value greater than 0. That is, this element is an instance. |
| IsInnerClass | An inner class has access to all the members of its containing class. When a complex class is inherited, this property is derived by the child class. |
| Iskey | Does this Attribute act as a key in the database table containing its class? |
| IsPersistent | Specifies if this object is persistent. This property is enabled when the Multiplicity property is set to a value greater than 0. That is, this element is an instance. |
| IsRequired | Specifies whether the primitive attribute requires a value. |
| IsResolved | Specifies whether the element exists in the model or whether it has been created during the import of an element, which refers to it. Note: This property becomes visible only when an element is unresolved, that is when it is set to false. This property can only be changed from False to True. Once an element has been resolved it cannot be made unresolved again. |
| IsSynchronous | Specifies whether the method can execute synchronously. |
| Kind | Read-only. Identifies the kind of element selected. |
| Length | Read-only. Displays the combined length of all contained attributes. |
| LineLength | Specifies the maximum length of the Report print line. This property is read-only for frames. Notes:
|
| MemberPersistence | Do members default to Persistent? |
| MemberVisibility | Specifies the default visibility for new member elements. This can be overridden for individual elements. |
| Modified | Read-only. The date the element was last modified. |
| Multiplicity | Number of instances. |
| Owner | Read-only. The namespace to which the element belongs. Note: When namespace is changed, system modeler prompts for a confirmation based on the System Modeler Policies settings. Refer to System Modeler Policies for more information on System Modeler Policy settings. |
| PresentationType | Specifies if the selected element has a user interface, and what format such an interface takes. Refer to PresentationType Property for more information on options. Select a value other than None to add the Painter tab to the document window. Refer to the Defining User Interfaces for more information on using the Painter tab. |
| ReservedBy | Read-only. The identifier of the user that currently has the selected element reserved. |
| Security | Specifies the security level for an element for this user. The AccessControlled property of the model must be set to True to provide this option. |
| Sequence | Sequence number in the ordered list. It defines the order in which frames will be printed when you execute a series of BeginPage commands. This property is enabled when the Multiplicity property is set to a value greater than 0. That is, this element is an instance. |
| Stereotype | Specifies the stereotype that identifies how the class operates and is interpreted in the system. |
| VersionFile | |
| Visibility | Specifies the level of visibility for the element. Private – Only visible within its namespace. Protected – Visible within its namespace and any namespace inheriting from it. Public – Visible outside its namespace. |
