For more information on extended model definitions, see chapter
Extended Model Definitions Reference Guide, in the Advanced User
Documentation.
You can define the case sensitivity of names and codes for all objects in the
current model. When this check box is selected, it implies that you can have
two objects with identical name or code but different case in the same
namespace.
Unlike other model options, you can modify the name and code case
sensitivity during the design process. However, if you do so, make sure you
run the check model feature to verify if the model does not contain any
duplicate object.
Requirements are descriptions of customer needs that must be satisfied
during development processes.
You can enable links to requirements for all objects in the current model.
When this check box is selected, it implies that the Requirements tab
appears in the objects property sheet. The Requirements page allows you to
attach requirements to objects; these requirements are defined in the
Requirements models open in the workspace. Attached requirements and
Requirements models are synchronized.
For more information on requirements, see the Requirements Model
User's Guide.
You can also set naming conventions for each type of objects in your model.
For information on naming conventions, see section Defining naming
conventions, from chapter Managing Models, in the General Features Guide.
