The Data Markings and Classification Plugin is designed for system and software engineers, enterprise
architects, business analysts, and others who work with classified or sensitive data. The plugin provides
compatibility with the DoD Manual 5200.01 Volume 2 specification. Using the Data Markings and
Classification Plugin, you can specifically mark your model elements to indicate different levels of
classification or sensitivity. You can also preview models by the chosen classification level and
transform the model into a new project by removing elements with the selected Data Markings.
Furthermore, in addition to the predefined Data Markings, you can easily extend the marking
capabilities by creating new Data Marking Categories and Data Markings. Also, since Data Markings are
model-based, its features, such as add, remove, etc., can be accessed using our standard API
mechanism.

Sorry, the widget is not supported in this export.

User Guide
Welcome! This user guide will walk you through the basics of using the Data Markings and Classification
Plugin.

Use the search box to find a specific topic or select one from the list below:

Getting started

Prerequisites
To work with the Data Markings and Classification Plugin, the following software should be installed (see
page 5):

• MagicDraw or a similar modeling tool.

• Variability Core Plugin for the modeling tool.
• Data Markings and Classification Plugin for the modeling tool.

1 https://docs.nomagic.com/display/IL2024xR1/Installation%2C+licensing%2C+and+system+requirements

Copyright © 1998 – 2024 No Magic, Incorporated, a Dassault Systèmes company. 5

  If you open a project containing Data Markings without the Data Markings and
Classification Plugin installed on the tool, a warning message is displayed suggesting you
install the plugin first. The plugin is needed to see the plugin-specific markings allowing
you to differentiate sensitive and non-sensitive data.

Sample
You can also review a project sample provided with the installation, found at:

• <tool_installation_directory>\samples\Data Markings\secret aircraft model.mdzip

The sample is a practical example built using the Data Markings Profile, Variability Profile, and
the DoD Data Marking Categories (see page 12).

Library
You can use ready-made DoD Data Marking Categories via the DoD data markings model library. The
library is automatically loaded, along with the Data Markings Profile and the Variability Profile, once
you use the DoD Data Marking Categories (see page 12). The library is located at:

• <tool_installation_directory>\modelLibraries\DoD data markings.mdzip

Profiles
In order to create and use Data Markings, the Data Markings Profile and the Variability Profile must be
used. They are imported automatically once you create a new Data Marking Category (see page 11) or use
DoD Data Marking Categories (see page 12). You can also import the profile files manually, which can be
found at:

• <tool_installation_directory>\profiles\Data Markings Profile.mdzip

The profile file contains both the Data Markings Profile and the Variability Profile needed to
create and use Data Markings.

• <tool_installation_directory>\profiles\Variability Profile.mdzip

API
Data Marking features can also be accessed using our standard API.

Process
In order to work with Data Markings, we suggest the following workflow:

1. Install (see page 5) the Data Markings and Classification, and the Variability Core plugins in the
modeling tool.
2. Specify the Data Marking Categories and their Data Markings:
• Option 1. Use the DoD Data Markings library.
The library provides you with a ready-to-use package comprised of DoD Data Marking
Categories and their Data Markings that are already specified. You can use it directly in the
project where you want to add or view the Data Markings.

Copyright © 1998 – 2024 No Magic, Incorporated, a Dassault Systèmes company. 8

  The DoD Data Marking Categories and Data Markings (see page 12) section provides
all necessary information for using the DoD Data Markings library.

• Option 2. Create your own custom Data Marking Categories with Data Markings and/or
Diagram Banner configurations.
i. Create a new project where the custom Data Marking Categories with their Data
Markings and/or Diagram Banner configurations will be created and specified. This
project will serve as a dedicated Data Marking Categories and Data Markings (and/
or Diagram Banner configurations) project that both you and your colleagues can
share and use. This is necessary in order to use the same custom Data Marking
Categories, add, and view the same Data Markings (and/or custom Diagram
Banners) in your modelling projects.

 While it is not required to create a separate project dedicated to the DoD

Data Markings library (as it is for custom Data Marking Categories), if you
prefer to create custom Diagram Banners for the DoD categories, the
Diagram Banner configurations should be created in a separate project so it
can be shared with your colleagues. The separate project can be the same
project dedicated to custom Data Marking Categories.

 The Specifying Data Marking Categories and Data Markings (see page
10) section and its subsections provide all necessary information for
specifying custom Data Marking Categories and Data Markings in a
dedicated project.
The Specifying Diagram Banners (see page 46) section and its subsection
provides all necessary information for specifying custom Diagram Banners
in the dedicated project.

ii. Share the newly created Data Marking Categories, Data Markings and/or Diagram
Banner configurations project with your colleagues via TWC or any other internal
tool your company may use.
iii. Use the newly created project with the Data Marking Categories, their Data
Markings and/or Diagram Banner configurations in the project where you want to
add or view the Data Markings and/or custom Diagram Banners.

 Use the dedicated project as

2
a:
• Local Project - share the newly created Data Marking Categories
and/or Diagram Banner configurations' packages from the dedicated
project and use them by using the dedicated project as a local
project3.
• Teamwork Cloud Server Project - use4 the newly created Data
Markings and/or Diagram Banner configurations' project in your TWC
project where you want the custom Data Markings and/or Diagram
Banners to be added/viewed. Both the dedicated project and the
project where the markings from the dedicated project would be
used need to be added to the Teamwork Cloud first.
• Imported Project - import5 the newly created dedicated project either
from a local or a used project to the main project where the
dedicated project would be used.

3. Add the Data Markings to the elements of your project.

  The Working with Data Markings (see page 51) section and its subsections provide all
necessary information for adding and removing Data Markings.

Specifying Data Marking Categories and Data Markings

In order to add Data Markings to the elements of your project, you need to create Data Marking
Categories with the needed Data Markings. You can either create your own custom Data Marking
Categories or use the DoD Data Marking Categories that come with the plugin (DoD Data Markings
library).

 We recommend that you create custom Data Marking Categories and their Data Markings in
a separate project. That project would then be used in projects where the Data Markings would
be added and viewed. To learn more about the recommended project structure and work
process, see the Process (see page 8) page.

The structure of a DoD Data Marking Category Security Classification.

A Data Marking Category element should have:

• A Data Marking Category name.

• Tagged Values:
• Priority
• Rankings
• Data Markings. Each Data Marking should have their representation attributes specified as well.

 To learn more about the main Data Markings and Classification properties, see the Main
properties (see page 6) page.

This section contains all necessary information for creating and managing Data Marking Categories and
Data Markings:

 • Working with Data Markings (see page 51)

Specifying Data Marking Categories

On this page:

• Creating custom Data Marking Categories (see page 11)

• Removing custom Data Marking Categories (see page 12)

You can either create your own custom Data Marking Categories, use DoD Data Marking Categories
(DoD Data Markings library), or combine both options based on your needs via the Data Markings &
Classification shortcut menu. Choosing either one of the two options automatically invokes the usage of
the Data Markings Profile, and the Variability Profile (if they are not used already) needed to create and
use Data Markings and their Categories. To learn more about DoD Data Marking Categories, see the
DoD Data Marking Categories and Data Markings (see page 12) page.

 We recommend that you create custom Data Marking Categories and their Data Markings in
a separate project. This project would then be used in projects where the Data Markings would
be added and viewed. To learn more about the recommended project structure and work
process, see the Process (see page 8) page.

Creating custom Data Marking Categories

To create custom Data Marking Categories

1. Create a new project for the Data Marking Categories.

2. Right-click the root package in the Containment tree. In the shortcut menu, select Data
Markings & Classification > under Specification, click Create. The Specification of Data
Marking Category dialog opens.

 Once the Data Marking Category is created, a new package called Data Markings/
Classification, containing the Data Marking Category element, is created in the
Containment tree.

3. Specify the Name for the new Data Marking Category in the Name field.
4. Specify the priority (see page 18)for the new category.
5. Specify the rankings (see page 21)for the new category.
6. Specify the Data Markings (see page 24) for the new category.
7. Specify the representation attributes (see page 28) for the new Data Markings.

Copyright © 1998 – 2024 No Magic, Incorporated, a Dassault Systèmes company. 11

 8. (Optional) To create additional Data Marking Categories with their own sets of Data Markings,
repeat steps 2-7.

Removing custom Data Marking Categories

If a Data Marking Category is not needed, you can simply delete it from the project. Keep in mind that
all the Data Markings that belong to the category will be deleted as well. All of the Data Markings added
to the elements of the project will be removed.

 Rather than permanently deleting a category from the project, you can add it to an Ignored
Data Marking Categories (see page 41) list.

To remove an individual custom Data Marking Category

• Right-click the Data Marking Category element in the Containment tree. In the shortcut menu,
click Delete.

To remove all custom Data Marking Categories

• Right-click the Data Markings/Classification package in the Containment tree. In the shortcut
menu, click Delete.

DoD Data Marking Categories and Data Markings

On this page:

• Using DoD Data Marking Categories (see page 13)

• Removing DoD Data Marking Categories (see page 14)
• DoD Data Marking Categories specification (see page 14)

In addition to or instead of creating custom Data Marking Categories and Data Markings, you can also
use the DoD Data Markings library in your projects. The DoD Data Markings library provides ready-to-use
Data Marking Categories and Data Markings based on the information security classification specified
in the DoD (Department of Defense) Manual 5200.01 Volume 2. If you prefer to work with these Data
Marking Categories, you can use them in your project.

1. Open the project where you want to use DoD Data Markings.
2. Right-click the root package in the Containment tree > in the shortcut menu, select Data
Markings & Classification > under Specification, click Use DoD Data Markings.

 Once the DoD Data Markings are used, a new package DoD Data Markings containing
the DoD Data Marking Categories and Data Markings is created in the Containment tree.
If you cannot see the package, make sure the Show Auxiliary Resources6option is
enabled.

Removing DoD Data Marking Categories
If you do not need DoD Data Marking Categories, you can remove them from the project. Keep in mind
that all the Data Markings that belong to the categories will be removed as well. All of the Data
Markings added to the elements of the project will be removed.

 You can hide individual DoD categories from the project by adding them to an Ignored Data
Marking Categories (see page 41) list.

To remove all DoD Data Marking Categories

• Right-click the DoD Data Markings package in the Containment tree > in the shortcut menu,
click Project Usages > Remove.

DoD Data Marking Categories specification

Specifying Data Marking Category priority

On this page:

• Specifying Data Marking Category priority (see page 19)

• Example of Data Marking Category priority specification (see page 19)

The Data Marking Category Priority is an integer Tagged Value, which defines the priority of the Data
Marking Categories, where the lowest number indicates the highest priority. The banner markings (see
page 29) in the Diagram Banner, the portion markings (see page 38) on the element symbols, and the Data
Marking Categories via the Add/Remove action in the Data Markings & Classification shortcut menu are
displayed in the order defined by the specified priority for each category.

 You do not need to specify the priority if there is only one Data Marking Category.

 Important
If you make changes to the Data Marking Category priority, ensure that you:

Copyright © 1998 – 2024 No Magic, Incorporated, a Dassault Systèmes company. 18

 • Refresh the project (click F5 on the keyboard or click View > Refresh in the tool) to see
the changes on the element symbol portion markings.
• Update the Diagram Banner (see page 67) to see the changes in the Diagram Banner
markings.

Specifying Data Marking Category priority

To specify Data Marking Category priority

1. Right-click the Data Marking Category element and open its Specification window.
2. In the Priority field, write the number to specify the priority. The lowest number indicates the
highest priority.

Example of Data Marking Category priority specification

In this example, you have two Data Marking Categories: Security Classification and Dissemination Control.
Security Classification has the priority of 1 and Dissemination Control has the priority of 100. You add
the Unclassified Data Marking (from the Security Classification category) and Display Only Data
Marking (from the Dissemination Control category) to the same element. The first portion marking
displayed on the element will be U (portion marking of the Unclassified Data Marking) and the second
- Display Only. The same order applies to:

• The banner markings in the Diagram Banner.

• The Data Marking Categories via the Add/Remove action in the Data Markings & Classification
shortcut menu.

 If the priority is the same for multiple categories or it is not specified, the banner
markings in the Diagram Banner and the categories via the Add/Remove action in the
Data Markings & Classification shortcut menu are displayed in the categories'
alphabetical order.

Copyright © 1998 – 2024 No Magic, Incorporated, a Dassault Systèmes company. 19

Multiple Diagram Banners (specified via Diagram Banner configurations (see page 48))

If you have multiple Diagram Banners, they are ordered based on the priority specified for the category
set in the Diagram Banner configuration. If there are multiple banners in the same position (Header/
Footer/Both), the Diagram Banners with categories that have the highest priority (the lowest number
indicates the highest priority) are displayed first.

For example, you have two Diagram Banner configurations: one has displayedCategories set to
Security Classification, and another to Dissemination Control. Both have displayIn set to Header. The
diagram will have two banners in the header: the first banner (at the top) will display the banner
markings of the Security Classification category and the second banner will display those of
the Dissemination Control, because the priority of Security Classification is higher (1) than that of
Dissemination Control (100). See the image below.

Copyright © 1998 – 2024 No Magic, Incorporated, a Dassault Systèmes company. 20

  You can create Diagram Banner configurations that allow you to have multiple custom Diagram
Banners based on Data Marking Categories. To learn more, see Specifying Diagram
Banners (see page 46) page.

Specifying Data Marking rankings

On this page:

• Specifying Data Marking rankings (see page 21)

• Example of Data Marking rankings specification (see page 22)

Data Marking Rankings is a boolean Tagged Value that specifies whether the markings inside a category
are ranked by the order specified in their category. Rankings, in combination with Data Markings' order,
determine the display of portion markings (see page 38) on the elements of the project and the banner
markings (see page 29) on the Diagram Banner. To learn more about Data Markings' ordering, see the
Specifying Data Markings (see page 26) page.

 Important
If you make changes to the Data Marking Category ranking, ensure that you:
• Refresh the project (click F5 on the keyboard or click View > Refresh in the tool) to see
the changes on the element symbol portion markings.
• Update the Diagram Banner (see page 67) to see the changes in the Diagram Banner
markings.

Specifying Data Marking rankings

To specify Data Marking rankings

1. Right-click the Data Marking Category element and open its Specification window.
2. In the Rankings field, do one of the following:
a. To enable rankings, select the false check box to set Rankings to true.

Copyright © 1998 – 2024 No Magic, Incorporated, a Dassault Systèmes company. 21

 b. To disable rankings, clear the true check box to set Rankings to false.

Example of Data Marking rankings specification

For example, you have a Data Marking Category Security Classification with these Data Markings: Top
Secret (TS), Secret (S), Confidential (C), Restricted (R), and Unclassified (U). You add two Data
Markings, Top Secret (TS) and Restricted (R), to the same element.

If the category's Rankings value is set to true:

• Only one Data Marking from the same category can be added to an element. If multiple Data
Markings are added, only the higher Data Marking's (Top Secret) portion marking (TS) is
displayed on the element symbol, i.e., based on the Data Markings' order in this category, Top
Secret is higher than Restricted; thus, Top Secret is ranked higher than Restricted. An
Inconsistent Data Markings (Rankings) (see page 81) validation error occurs, prompting you to
remove one of the added Data Markings.
• Only the highest Data Marking from the same category that is added to the element symbols of
the diagram is displayed on the Diagram Banner. If there are multiple element symbols on the
diagram with different Data Markings from the same category, only the highest added Data
Marking is displayed on the Diagram Banner.

Copyright © 1998 – 2024 No Magic, Incorporated, a Dassault Systèmes company. 22

If the category's Rankings value is set to false:

• Both portion markings (TS) and (R) of the two Data Markings (Top Secret and Restricted) are
displayed on the element symbol.
• All Data Markings from the same category that are added to the element symbols of the
diagram are displayed on the Diagram Banner.

Copyright © 1998 – 2024 No Magic, Incorporated, a Dassault Systèmes company. 23

  The Data Marking that is higher is based on the order of the Data Markings as specified within
their category. To learn more, see the Specifying Data Markings (see page 26) page.

Specifying Data Markings

On this page:

• Creating a new Data Marking (see page 25)

• Reordering Data Markings (see page 26)
• Editing the Data Marking name (see page 28)
• Deleting a Data Marking (see page 28)

Once you have a new Data Marking Category created, you need to specify the Data Markings denoting
the classification that you want to have for it.

 Important
If you create, reorder, or delete Data Markings, ensure that you:

Copyright © 1998 – 2024 No Magic, Incorporated, a Dassault Systèmes company. 24

 • Refresh the project (click F5 on the keyboard or click View > Refresh in the tool) to see
the changes on the element portion markings.
• Update the Diagram Banner (see page 67) to see the changes in the Diagram Banner
markings.

Creating a new Data Marking

Specifying Diagram Banners

On this page:

• Default Diagram Banners (see page 46)

• Custom Diagram Banners (see page 47)

The Diagram Banners display the Data Markings added to the element symbols of the diagram. The
Data Markings displayed on the Diagram Banners are specified via the bannerMarking representation
attribute (see page 29). You can either use the default display of the Diagram Banners, or you can specify
your own custom configurations.

Default Diagram Banners

By default, once you create a Diagram Banner for a diagram via the Create action in the Data Markings
& Classification shortcut menu, a single Diagram Banner is created in the header of the diagram.
However, you can change the display position of the Diagram Banner (Header/Footer/Both/None) in
individual diagrams (see page 66). This Diagram Banner displays the Data Markings added to the element
symbols of the diagram in one line, separated by double slashes ("//") (see the image below).

Copyright © 1998 – 2024 No Magic, Incorporated, a Dassault Systèmes company. 46

Custom Diagram Banners
If you prefer to specify the display position (Header/Footer/Both) for specific Data Markings based on
their categories or simply have them displayed on separate banners (i.e., each displayed on a separate
line but separated by double slashes ("//")), you can do that by specifying your own custom
configurations for the Diagram Banners.

 We recommend that you create the configuration for the Diagram Banners in a separate
project, e.g., the same project where the custom Data Marking Categories are specified if you
are using custom categories or a new separate project if you are using DoD Data Marking
Categories. To learn more about the recommended project structure and work process, see
the Process (see page 8) page.

When creating and/or editing Diagram Banner configurations, keep in mind:

• The same category specified in multiple Diagram Banner configurations

If the same Data Marking Category is added to two Diagram Banner configurations that have
different displayIn values, then both values are applied. For example, if the Security Classification
category is added to one configuration with displayIn set to Header and to another configuration
with displayIn set to Footer, then the Security Classification Data Markings will be displayed in
both the footer and header banners.

• The order of multiple Diagram Banners

If there are multiple Diagram Banners created for the same display position, the order in which
the banners will be displayed on the diagrams depends on the priority (see page 18) set for the
categories that are represented on the banners. If some of the categories are not specified for
the Diagram Banner configuration, then the markings of these categories are displayed on their
own default banner, which is placed at the top, regardless of the categories' priority.

Copyright © 1998 – 2024 No Magic, Incorporated, a Dassault Systèmes company. 47

 This project has 3 DoD Data Marking Categories, all of which are specified via
separate Diagram Banner configurations. The Data Markings added to the
element symbols of the diagram are each represented on a separate banner
based on their Data Marking Category. Separation of the categories is done by
having a separate banner (a new line) for each category rather than all markings
being displayed on one line separated by double slashes ("//") on the same
banner. The banners are ordered based on the represented category's priority.

To learn how to specify Diagram Banner configurations, see the Specifying Diagram Banner
configurations (see page 48) page.

You can specify your own custom Diagram Banners by creating Diagram Banner configurations; thus,
you can specify the display position (Header/Footer/Both) for specific markings based on their categories
and/or have them displayed on separate banners. To create Diagram Banner configurations, ensure
the working project already has Data Marking Categories (see page 11) created in it.

Working with Data Markings

You can easily add Data Markings to your project elements via the Data Markings & Classification
shortcut menu. When a Data Marking is added to an element, it is displayed as the Data Marking's
portion marking (see page 38) in color specified via the color representation attribute (see page 32). The
portion marking is displayed in parentheses as a prefix to the element name.

Adding Data Markings

 To add Data Markings, make sure:

• to specify the Sensitive Element Types (see page 43) project option with the element types
that you want to be able to add Data Markings to;
• the elements must not be read-only.

You can add Data Markings to various elements of your project:

• Diagrams (tables, matrices, maps, etc.)

• Elements (relationships, blocks, packages, ports, operations, properties, comments, etc.)

 Labels
Elements and relationships whose names and/or types are displayed in labels have Data
Markings added as prefixes in the labels. You can choose to show or hide the labels via
Symbol Properties. Hiding the label hides the added Data Marking, too; however, it does
not remove the Data Markings from the element/relationship.

Multiple Data Markings on the same element

Working with Diagram Banners

The Diagram Banners display the Data Markings added to the element symbols of the diagram. The
Data Markings displayed on the Diagram Banners are specified via the bannerMarking representation
attribute (see page 29).

Diagram Banner markings' style is based on:

• bannerMarking representation attribute (see page 29)

The style (color, font size, alignment, etc.) of the banner markings displayed on the Diagram Banners is
based on the HTML specification of the bannerMarking representation attribute of each Data Marking.
It can be either default or custom:

Copyright © 1998 – 2024 No Magic, Incorporated, a Dassault Systèmes company. 63

 • Default - the banner markings are displayed in black, 18px font size, and are centered.
• Custom - the banner markings are displayed in custom style based on the specified color, font
size, alignment, and other properties for the text via the HTML Editor of the bannerMarking
representation attribute.

Diagram Banner markings are separated by:

• double slashes ("//") if the Data Markings are from different categories (category scope).
• a single slash ("/") if the Data Markings are from the same category (Data Markings scope).

Diagram Banner markings are ordered based on:

• priority (see page 18) (category scope):

The Data Markings from the categories with the highest priority (the lowest number indicates the
highest priority) are displayed first. If the priority is the same for multiple categories or it is not
specified, the Diagram Banner markings are displayed based on their categories' alphabetical order.

• rankings (see page 21) (Data Markings scope):

true - only the highest Data Marking (see page 26) from the same category that is added to the element
symbols of the diagram is displayed on the Diagram Banner.
false - all Data Markings from the same category that are added to the elements of the diagram are
displayed on the Diagram Banner. The order in which they are displayed depends on the order
specified in their Data Marking Category.

 The Data Marking that is higher depends on the order of the Data Markings as specified within
their category. To learn more about Data Markings' ordering, see the Specifying Data
Markings (see page 26) page.

Multiple custom Diagram Banners (specified via Diagram Banner configurations (see page 46)) are
ordered based on:

• priority (see page 18)

The Diagram Banners are ordered based on the priority specified for the category that is set in the
Diagram Banner configuration. If there are multiple banners for the same position (Header/Footer/Both),
the Diagram Banners with categories that have the highest priority (lowest number indicates the
highest priority) are displayed first. If certain categories are not specified for the Diagram Banner
configuration, then the markings of those categories are displayed on their own default banner, which
is placed at the top, regardless of the categories' priority.

 Tables and Matrices

Collapsed, parent, and filtered out rows, as well as element values displayed in column cells,
are taken into account when calculating the Diagram Banner display for Tables.

If you are exporting tables with Data Markings, using Export will create new elements
instead of importing the existing ones once the file is imported. To avoid that, make sure to use
Excel/CSV Sync12 instead.

Validation
Validation checks the accuracy and compatibility of the added Data Markings, displays errors in the
model, and suggests solutions. The validation suites are part of the Data Markings Profile (see page 5). In
order for the validation rules to work in your project, the Data Markings Profile must be part of your
project.

The Data Markings and Classification Plugin provides two Data Markings validation suites to validate
the Data Markings used in the model:

Passive validation suite. You can view the validation rules in this suite on the Data Markings
validation rules (see page 83) page.
• Data Markings (Auto)
Active validation suite. You can view the validation rules in this suite on the Data Markings active

The element has both Secret (S) and For Official Use Only (FOUO) Data Markings
added, both of which are specified as incompatible via their "incompatible"
tags.
The error is resolved by removing the FUOU Data Marking from the element via
the Remove from Element solver.

Inconsistent Data Markings (Rankings)

Abbreviation

IDM[2]

Description

The validation rule checks if the added Data Markings belong to the same ranked Data Marking
Category.

Severity

warning

  <Data Marking> - represents the full Data Marking name and portion marking in
parentheses, e.g. "Remove Top Secret (TS) from Element".

Example

The element has both Secret (S) and Top Secret (TS) Data Markings added, both
of which belong to the same ranked Data Marking Category Security
Classification.
The error is resolved by removing the Secret (S) Data Marking from the element
via Remove from Element solver.

Invisible Data Markings (active)

Abbreviation

IDM [3]

Description

The validation rule checks if:

• A symbol is displayed without its element's Data Markings in the diagram.

• The diagram contains multiple symbols displayed without their elements' Data Markings.

Copyright © 1998 – 2024 No Magic, Incorporated, a Dassault Systèmes company. 82

  Elements (e.g. ports) and relationships whose names and/or types are displayed in labels have
Data Markings added as prefixes in the labels. You can choose to either show or hide the labels
via Symbol Properties. Hiding the label hides the added Data Marking, too, however, it does not
remove the Data Markings from the element/relationship. A hidden label hides the added Data
Markings and prompts the validation error.

Severity

warning

Constrained Element

Diagram

Solvers

• Show Name - once selected, the element name is displayed along with the added Data
Markings.

 For some symbols you can also resolve the error by displaying the element type
via Symbol Properties.

Example

A diagram with a single port (on the left) and multiple ports (on the right) are
displayed without the added Data Markings.
The error is resolved by displaying the name label with the added Data Markings
via the Show Name solver.

Data Markings validation rules

This page shows all passive validation rules that belong to the Data Markings validation suite. You
need to perform the validation manually to check your model against these validation rules.

Inconsistent Data Markings (Property)
Abbreviation

IDM [4]

Description

When a property is typed by a sensitive element, the validation rule checks whether the property has a
matching Data Marking or if the sensitivity level of the added Data Marking is not lower than the
sensitivity level of the Data Marking added to the type.

Severity

warning

Constrained Element

Property

Solvers

• Comply with the Property Type's Data Marking(s) - adds the same Data Markings to the
property as the ones added to its type. If any of the added Data Markings are higher than its
type's Data Marking, they remain.
Example

Copyright © 1998 – 2024 No Magic, Incorporated, a Dassault Systèmes company. 84

 The Part Property heat System cannot have the Secret (S) Data Marking because
the Part Property is typed by the Block Heat System that has the Top Secret (TS)
Data Marking, which is of a higher sensitivity level than the Secret (S).
The error is resolved via the Comply with the Property Type's Data Marking(s)
solver.

Invalid Containment Markings

Abbreviation

ICM

Description

The validation rule checks if the Containment Markings match the Data Markings of owned elements.

Severity

warning

Constrained Element

Element

Solvers

• Update Containment Markings - the element is displayed with up-to-date Containment

Markings.
Example

The Data Marking of the Part Property clutter was changed from (C) to (S), but
the Containment Marking of the Block Radar is outdated.
The error is resolved via the Update Containment Markings solver.

Invalid Diagram Banner

Abbreviation

Copyright © 1998 – 2024 No Magic, Incorporated, a Dassault Systèmes company. 85

IDB

Description

The validation rule checks if:

• The Diagram Banner displays up-to-date Data Markings that correspond with those added to the
element symbols of the diagram.
• The diagram contains element symbols with added Data Markings, but the Diagram Banner is
not created.

 The validation error is not triggered if the Diagram Banner's display position is set to
None. The error is only triggered if the diagram's «banner» stereotype has a text tag with
no set value, i.e., the banner is removed (see page 69) or not created (see page 65).

Severity

warning

Constrained Element

Diagram

Solvers

• Update - the Diagram Banner is displayed with up-to-date Data Markings.

• Create - the Diagram Banner is created with up-to-date Data Markings.
Example

The Diagram Banner displays an outdated Data Marking as there are no

elements on the diagram with the Secret (S) Data Marking added.
The error is resolved by updating the Diagram Banner via the Update solver.

Copyright © 1998 – 2024 No Magic, Incorporated, a Dassault Systèmes company. 86

 The diagram contains an element symbol with an added Data Marking (C) but
the Diagram Banner is not created for the diagram.
The error is resolved by creating the Diagram Banner via the Create solver.

Invisible Data Markings

Abbreviation

IDM [4]

Description

The validation rule checks if:

• A symbol is displayed without its element's Data Markings in the diagram.

• The diagram contains multiple symbols displayed without their elements' Data Markings.

 Elements (e.g. ports) and relationships whose names and/or types are displayed in labels have
Data Markings added as prefixes in the labels. You can choose to either show or hide the labels
via Symbol Properties. Hiding the label hides the added Data Marking, too, however, it does not
remove the Data Markings from the element/relationship. A hidden label hides the added Data
Markings and prompts the validation error.

  For some symbols you can also resolve the error by displaying the element type
via Symbol Properties.

Example

A diagram with a single port (on the left) and multiple ports (on the right) are
displayed without the added Data Markings.
The error is resolved by displaying the name label with the added Data Markings
via the Show Name solver.

Missing Data Marking

Abbreviation

MDM

Description

The validation rule checks if there are elements that are specified to have Data Markings in the
Sensitive Element Types (see page 43) project option but do not have any Data Markings added.

Severity

warning

Example

The Sensitive Element Types project option is set to a Block; thus, the Block
element must have an added Data Marking.
The error is resolved when the Block Aircraft is added a Data Marking.
