Model Properties

Selecting the top level node for a model in the Model Tree means that you can edit or view the following properties in the Properties Window.


The Main Tab

Main Properties for an ArchiMate Model

Name: The name of the model.
File: The file name of the model (read-only).
Purpose: A space to enter the purpose (or documentation) of the model. If Markdown is used it can be previewed by selecting the "View" toolbar button to the right of the documentation field. See Using Markdown in Text Fields for more details.

In the "Purpose" text control, URLs that start with "http://" "https://", "ftps://" or "file:///" will show as a hyperlink. Holding the Ctrl / Command key will change the cursor to a "hand" cursor and you can open the link in a Browser.
