Specifying Exit Conditions
Whereas annotations have no model implications or rigor, the labels displayed on function exit branches are actual edit conditions. To edit the exit conditions for an element, use the Edit Exit Conditions command.
The Edit Annotation command allows you to specify the label for a branch or a loop condition (the criteria for staying within a loop construct) on an activity diagram or EFFBD. Annotations are simply informative guides to the modeler and customer. They do not have any modeling rigor but do add richness and context.
In general, annotations are simple, single-line labels. However, CORE does support multi-line annotations, where desired. To enter a multi-line annotation, specify line breaks with a single backslash "\". If a backslash is desired, enter a double backslash "\\". For example, entering "two line\annotation" would result in a two-line annotation with "two line" on the first line and "annotation" on the second. Entering "two line\\annotation" would result in a single-line annotation of "two line\annotation."
