Smart package is a special collection of model elements. There are two ways an element can be included in the smart package: The membership in the smart package is not the UML ownership; one element can belong to several smart packages. Smart packages aggregate relevant elements, so that you can: - Easily browse, navigate, list, and discover these elements in the Containment tree.
- Narrow the scope in both the Find dialog and the element Selection dialog.
- Define dynamic row and column scopes in dependency matrices.
ConceptsTo better understand this material, please read through the following concepts. Static contentsA collection of manually included elements. Dynamic contentsA collection of elements automatically calculated according to the set of criteria specified by the user. Performance contentsIn the Smart Package Specification window, you can take advantage of a new property, Use In Selection Dialogs, which allows you to work better with your smart packages. Previously, smart packages slowed down the opening of Selection dialog boxes. Use In Selection Dialogs allows users to exclude the smart package from the calculation of elements to display in Selection dialog boxes (e.g. Select Elements). |
