Files Tab

The Files tab allows you to insert new files or URLs, or view files and URLs already inserted or attached to your model element or diagram.

The Files tab is useful for maintaining links to supplemental documentation about the system being built (Vision Documents, GUI sketches, project plans, etc.).

Any attached URLs or files listed here are also displayed when the element or diagram is expanded in the browser.

Inserting New URLs

Right-click in the text box, and then click Insert URL from the shortcut menu; this will insert the default address www.rational.com. Edit the file name and path to point to the correct Web site.
