Creating receptions using the browser

Edit online

Procedure

  1. In the browser, right‑click a class, actor, operation, or use case node and select Add New > Reception. The New Reception window opens.
  2. Type the name of the new reception and click OK.
  3. The following action happens depending on what the product finds:
    • If the product finds an event with the specified name, it creates the reception and displays it in the browser.
    • If the product cannot find an event with the given name, a confirmation box opens, prompting you to create an event. Click Yes to create an event and the specified reception.

Results

Note the following information:

  • When you add a new reception with a new name to a class, an event of that name is added to the package. If you specify an existing event name, the reception simply points to that event.
  • Receptions are inherited. Therefore, if you give a trigger to a transition with a reception name that does not exist in the class but does exist in its base class, Rhapsody® does not create a reception.
