GDS Usage Property

The GDS Usage property can be defined for statecharts, activity charts, GDSs, and flowcharts. It cannot be defined for module-charts and sequence diagrams.

This property can be accessed from the chart Properties toolbar .

The GDS Usage form includes two editable lists and one read-only list:

The Extend GDS Usage list includes the GDSs in the workarea that are currently not visible.
The Used GDS(s) list includes the GDSs that are currently visible. It includes a default value, <All-Public-GDS>, which means that all the Public GDSs are visible, but not the Explicit Usage ones.
The Inherited Used GDS list (read-only) is calculated according to the chart hierarchy and the GDS Usage property of the chart’s ancestors.

To edit the GDS Usage of a chart (or a GDS), select the chart (or GDS) in the workarea browser and then select Edit > Properties.
