All migrated models automatically contains stereotypes. A stereotype is a concept from Unified Modeling Language (UML). It is a tag that indicates to the model how this element should be interpreted. For example, ispecs and business segments are both classes, but they have different stereotypes. The stereotype contains the instructions on how a type of class behaves. It can include a number of built-in or framework methods, which are automatically executed at runtime.
Stereotypes can include built-in attributes. Other behaviors can also be built in to stereotyped classes.
The following stereotypes are available in Agile Business Suite:
Segments
Ispecs
Reports
Frames
Groups
Insertables
Events
Copies
SQL scripts
It is important to remember that you don’t have to use stereotypes. You can use Classes with no stereotype that have no built-in behaviors, attributes, or properties (Refer to Classes with no stereotype).
Refer to the Agile Business Suite Developer Online Help for more information on these stereotypes.
