This wizard helps you setting the properties of a Functional Exchange (System, Logical, Physical) / an Operational Interaction.
Base
| Field |
Description |
Default |
| Name |
The name of the current Element. |
<generic name> |
| Summary |
A short headline about the role of the current Element. |
<blank> |
| Exchanged Items |
One or several Exchange Items carried by the current Functional Exchange / Operational Interaction. Carried Exchange Items are produced by the source Function / Operational Activity and consumed by the target one. Exchange Items aggregate elements from the Data model. |
<blank> |
| Exchange Category |
One or several Exchange Categories the current Functional Exchange falls in (assigning Categories to Functional Exchanges allow creating simplified views of Exchanges between Functions). [WARNING] Exchange Categories cannot be used with Operational Interactions. |
<blank> |
| Realized Exchanges |
One or several Functional Exchanges / Operational Interactions from which the current Functional Exchange is a refinement: · If the current Functional Exchange belongs to System Analysis, Realized Exchanges are Operational Interactions · If the current Functional Exchange belongs to Logical Architecture, Realized Exchanges are Functional Exchanges belonging to System Analysis · If the current Functional Exchange belongs to Physical Architecture, Realized Exchanges are Functional Exchanges belonging to Logical Architecture [WARNING] If the current element is an Operational Interaction, no Realized Exchanges should be set. |

Description
This field contains the business description of the current element. Links towards other model elements or diagrams can be created in this description using the "Add Link" button.
By default this field in read-only, so that hyperlinks can be navigated. To start editing the description, click first on the "Edit" button at the very left side of the toolbar.
Extensions

| Applied Property Values |
One or several Property Values related to the current Element. These Property Values might be located right under the current Element or anywhere else in the Model. The "browse" button allows associating an already existing Property Value (not necessarily located under the current Element). The "cross" button allows removing the association between the selected Property Value and the current Element. This action does not delete the Property Value itself. |
<blank> |
| Applied Property Value Group |
One or several Property Value Groups related to the current Element. These Property Values Group and the Property Values they contain might be located right under the current Element or anywhere else in the Model. The "browse" button allows associating an already existing Property Group (not necessarily located under the current Element). The "cross" button allows removing the association between the selected Property Value and the current Element. This action does not delete the Property Value itself. |
