Overview of the details pane

For any artifact within the system, this pane is where all its associated data is viewed and entered.

The Pane has a series of tabs at the top, which are selected by button 1 click The body of a tab is a menu of items to be checked, selected or entered specific to the particular tab selected.

Of these, the Properties Tab is by far the most complex, with a different presentation for each artifact within the system. The detailed descriptions of the properties tab for each artifact are the subject of separate chapters covering the artifacts that may appear on the various diagrams (see Chapter 15, Top Level Artifact Reference through Chapter 22, Deployment Diagram Artifact Reference).
