Managing Tagged Values

To use the THREATGET Analysis in Enterprise Architect, you have to use the THREATGET Toolbox to model the system. This Toolbox provides your defined Elements, Assets, Interfaces, Connectors and Boundaries. It is also possible to define Tagged Values for elements, assets, interfaces, and connectors.

A Tagged Value can be seen as an attribute or property of an element, asset, interface, or connector. A Tagged Value is a key-value relationship and describes a single property. The user can define these Tagged Values within the ThreatGet web interface and then add them to the components to model your system.

An example of this would be defining a Tagged Value that describes which protocol a connector uses.

Tag = protocol

Values = HTTP, HTTPS, SMTP .....

Create a new Tagged Value

To create a new tagged value, you first have to switch to the correct overview. Please click on ToolBox in the Navigation bar and then select Tagged Values as shown below.

Now we will create a new Tagged Value. To do this, click on the blue + on the top right corner. Enter a name and a description first. We recommend writing a meaningful description to avoid conflicts in meaning with other tagged values.

Tagged Values can also be restricted to certain types of components. If this protocol should only be available for Elements and Assets, then we can simply select these two from the dropdown menu.

As you can see, all tagged values are created with the default namespace (in the standard installation called "USER"), but a different one can be selected if needed. The items created by AIT have the "AIT" namespace.

A value with the name undefined has been automatically assigned, and selected as Default Value . A tagged value must always have at least one value. To assign additional values, like for example HTTP, HTTPS. SMTP, please enter the desired value in the New Value field. Then click the ADD button on the right to add it.

All values except the current default and the undefined can be deleted. To delete a value, click on the X in the Actions column of the table. It is also possible to set a different Default Value for the tagged value. To change the Default Value, click on the Checkbox in the Default column of the table.

To save your newly defined tagged value, please click on the button with the Disk symbol on the top right corner.

You can also cancel the creation of the new tagged value by clicking on the X on the top right corner.

You can also select the Circular Arrow to undo any changes.

Search for a defined Tagged Value

Since the number of tagged values can increase very quickly, you can also search for a particular one. To do this, you can simply enter part of the name or description in the search field.

All the tagged values matching the search will then be listed.
