Class Manager

This screen shows information about the selected class and allows you to add attributes. Most of the information displayed on this screen was specified when the class was created. Some of the optional attributes might have been added later.

During class creation, if the class was specified to inherit attributes from another class, the inherited attributes are classified as they are in the parent class. For instance, if Object Class is a mandatory attribute for the parent class, then it displays on this screen as a mandatory attribute for the selected class.
