The attributes table template in the ExposeAttributesTable diagram displaying the attributes table of a published model. 

Columns of a table are defined by using Structured Activity Nodes with the «TableAttributeColumn» stereotypes. If you want to create an Attribute table like the one shown in the above figure, you need to use five Structured Activity Nodes with the «TableAttributeColumn» stereotypes. The name of a Structured Activity Node defines the column name in the table. The information displayed in the column is defined by properties:

  • Property Value - the value of this property defines what is displayed in the column of a table, e.g. to display attribute multiplicity, enter QPROP:Element:multiplicity, and to display attribute name, enter QPROP:Element:name.


In the ExposeAttributesTable diagram, the Structured Activity Node with the «TableStructure» stereotype defines the structure of a table by using predefined properties:

  • Colwidths - defines the width of columns. Each column width is separated by a semicolon, and overall sum of column widths must be equal to 1, e.g., 0.3;0.1;0.1;0.4;0.1.
  • Skip If Empty - if an element doesn't have any attributes, then the table is not displayed.
  • Titles - defines the title of a table.
