Where does the Title Block 'Summary' data come from?

Capella

The Title Block contains:

  • Name: feature:name
  • Last change date: aql:self.getLastModificationDate()
  • Summary: aql:self.target.summary
  • Description: feature:documentation

The Name and Description can be added and modified in the Properties tab for the representation. The last change date is automatic.

But how do you enter a summary? And how is it different from a Description? For me, the summary field is always blank.

Summary is a property you have on Capella model elements. The expression “aql:self.target.summary” will go first to the target of the diagram (self.target) which is the element containing the diagram. For example, if you created a LAB using the method browser, then your diagram will be but default stored under the Structure" folder. So select the Structure folder and enter a summary, and you’ll see it appearing in the title block.

More importantly, these AQL expressions are to be customized with what you want to see in these title blocks.

I hope this helps.

Can you please explain in more detail how to enter the Summary in the Structure folder. I don’t see where to enter the Summary or Description.

Thanks!
