Renaming relationships

In UML models, you can rename a relationship to reflect a change in its purpose.

Relationship names are typically statements that briefly describe the reason for the relationship. You do not have to name every relationship; rename a relationship only if it clarifies its purpose.

You must have a model that contains relationships open in the Modeling perspective.

To rename a relationship:

  1. In the Model Explorer view, right-click a relationship; then click Refactor > Rename.
  2. Type a name and press Enter.
Tip: You can also rename a relationship in the Properties view.
