In UML, data that is local to an activity is stored to object nodes. Object nodes reflect Local Variables.
Activities are modeled in activity diagrams. Refer to Modeling Activities for more information on how to create an activity diagram.
| Drag out the object node icon from the elements toolbar. You can find an overview on all elements that are available for activity diagrams on page Working with the Activity Editor. |
| To change name and type, switch to the Attributes panel Refer to Changing the Attributes of Elements on the Activity Diagram for more information on what you can do in the attributes panel. |
| Alternatively, you can drag out classes, parameters and properties from other Service panel folders, and drop it on the diagram pane. |
| Once added to the diagram, you can move object nodes any time. Click the object node and drag it to a new position. |
| You can resize object nodes by clicking the square in the bottom right corner of the element and dragging it. |
| You can hover over the object node to see a tooltip showing the full path of the type. |
