You can filter compartment items in Unified Modeling Language
(UML) data diagrams to reduce the complexity or increase the level
of abstraction in diagrams. By default, compartment items are listed
in the same order as they are in the Properties view and the Data
Project Explorer or Data Source Explorer.
Before you begin
You must create a new diagram that contains data objects or
open an existing diagram.
Procedure
You can filter compartment items from the diagram or
the Properties view:
- To filter compartment items for a single data object:
- Right-click a data object in the diagram, then select .
- Select a filtering option from the list.
- To filter compartment items for all data objects on a diagram:
- Click a blank area in the diagram. The properties of the diagram display in the Properties view.
- Open the Filters page, then select
the filtering options.
