Describing Elements
Element descriptions can be added, updated and deleted in the following views:
Elements which have descriptions are indicated by the presence of a solid page icon in the lower right hand corner of the shape representing the element.
Descriptions can be viewed by hovering over or tapping the solid page icon.
To add a description: click or tap on a page icon to cause the description popover to stick in place. Then simply click or tap in the box and type away. Click or tap anywhere on the diagram outside the popover to close it and commit your changes to the model.
To update a description: click or tap on a page icon to cause the description popover to stick in place. Then simply click or tap in the box containing the description you want to update and type away. Click or tap anywhere on the diagram outside the popover to close it and commit your changes to the model.
To delete a description: click or tap on the page icon to cause the description popover to stick in place. Then simply click or tap in the box containing the description you want to delete and select and delete its contents. Click or tap anywhere on the diagram outside the popover to close it and commit your changes to the model.
Press “escape” on the keyboard before clicking on the diagram outside the popover to restore the text and cancel the delete operation. Unfortunately there is no equivalent operation on touch devices yet.
Descriptions can also be added, updated and deleted in tables by double clicking in the description column.
Unfortunately, editing text fields in tables is not possible using virtual keyboards on touch devices because the keyboard doesn’t pop up when double clicking on a cell.
