A Collaboration Use represents the implementation of a pattern described by a Collaboration in a specific situation. In this context, role binding means that the roles in the Collaboration are bound by concrete elements. A Collaboration can be used many times in different Collaboration Uses.
These instructions will work best if you have a Composite Structure diagram created already. |
To assign a collaboration to a collaboration use
Before assigning a Collaboration to a Collaboration Use, you must have a Collaboration created in your model.
Read Collaboration on how to create a Collaboration in your model. |
After creating a Collaboration, then do one of the following:
You can format Collaboration Use symbol properties in the Symbol Properties dialog.
For more information about symbol representation properties, see Formatting symbols. |
You can specify Collaboration Use properties in the Collaboration Use's Specification window. In the same window, you can find the description of each property. Descriptions are presented in the description area of the Specification window.
For more information about the Specification window usage, see Specification window. For more information about specifying property values, see Editing property values. |
