Fields used to identify symbols and diagrams
The following Entity Table Fields can be used to identify Symbols or Diagrams. These identifiers can be used in the SELECT command and the WHERE command when Class = Symbol or Class = Diagram.
Annotation
Is a derived T/F Boolean field that pertains to a symbol, which is T if that symbol is an annotation type symbol (Doc Block, Text Box, and so on).
Balance
Is a derived memo-type field (a limit of 4095 characters) which is applied to symbols or diagrams. It contains all balancing conditions for that symbol or diagram.
Bottom
Is a derived T/F Boolean field that pertains to a symbol or a definition. The value is true for a symbol if it does not expand to a diagram. The value is true for definitions that are not expressions, and expressions that do not contain any data elements or data structures.
Connector
Is a derived T/F Boolean field that pertains to a symbol. Its value is T for a connector type symbol, such as AND, XOR, and Gen-Spec.
Current
Is a derived T/F Boolean field. Its value is T if the diagram, symbol, or definition is currently displayed.
Hidden
Reports on whether the symbol has been hidden. The hidden state of a line is updated through the context menu option Hide Selected ... Lines when a line or lines are selected on the diagram, and from the View > Hide/Show ... Relationship Lines... menu option.
Identity
Is a database field that contains a unique 10-digit, 32-bit, number assigned internally to all symbols, diagrams and definitions. Each entry in the encyclopedia has a unique number. A number is never reissued within a single encyclopedia.
Level
Is a derived field that is based on the hierarchical path of a diagram or symbol. The level number for a diagram always ends with a period; the level number for a symbol never ends with a period.
Lock
Is a Boolean database field, having a value of either T or F, to indicate if a definition or diagram record is locked. This applies only to the network version of System Architect.
Number
Is a database field that contains a five-digit number of a symbol as it appears on a diagram (the last level digits only).
Reference
Is a derived T/F Boolean field that pertains to a diagram, symbol or definition. The value is T if it has at least one relationship. A definition (data element, data structure, or requirement) with no relationships, meaning that it does not use data elements or structures, does not define a symbol, and is not attached to a symbol, would be Reference = F.
Rules
Is a derived memo-type field (a limit of 4095 characters) which is applied to symbols and their definitions. It contains any rule violations for that symbol.
Selected
Is a derived T/F Boolean field that is T for a definition if the definition dialog is currently displayed and is selected. The diagram is considered to be selected if at least one symbol or definition is selected.
Top
Is a derived T/F Boolean field that pertains to a diagram. The value is true for a diagram if the diagram does not expand from a symbol.
UncleCount
Is a numeric field that pertains to a child diagram. The value is equal to the number of symbols that are directly attached to the parent symbol by flow lines.
