Desired effect (UPDM - MODAF aliases)
Creation
To create a Desired Effect:
• From a Capability, Capability Configuration, Enterprise Vision, Function, Logical Architecture, Node, Operational Activity, Organization, Physical Architecture, Post, Project Activity, Project Type, Resource Artifact Role Type Security Domain, Service Access, Software or Standard Operational Activity: right-click the desirer element, point to Links, point to Strategic, and then click Desired State. From the Links Editor, select the desired states.
The desired state elements can be Operational Atomic State, Operational Concurrent State, Operational Final State, Operational Sequential State, Operational Submachine State, Resource Atomic State, Resource Concurrent State, Resource Final State, Resource Sequential State or Resource Submachine State elements.
• From an Operational Atomic State, Operational Concurrent State, Operational Final State, Operational Sequential State, Operational Submachine State, Resource Atomic State, Resource Concurrent State, Resource Final State, Resource Sequential State or Resource Submachine State: right-click the desired element, point to Links, point to Strategic, and then click Desired By. From the Links Editor, select the desirer element.
The desirer elements can be Capability, Capability Configuration, Enterprise Vision, Function, Logical Architecture, Node, Operational Activity, Organization, Physical Architecture, Post, Project Activity, Project Type, Resource Artifact, Role Type, Security Domain, Service Access, Software or Standard Operational Activity elements.
Appearance
A Desired Effect does not appear on any diagrams.
Relationships
The following relationships are of importance to a Desired Effect:
• To specify the Actual Property Set element that provides a measure of effectiveness: right-click the Desired Effect, point to Links, and then click Provided Measure Of Effectiveness.
The following sections provide information about how a Desired Effect is used in the model.

Create from a Desired Effect
Only the UPDM elements that can be created from all UPDM elements ( Alias, Definition, Information, and Metadata).
Shown on these diagrams, tables and matrices
Only the AV-2 Integrated Dictionary and TV-1 Standards Profile, which can show all UPDM elements.
UPDM writeable properties
The following writeable properties are available on the Desired Effect tab of a Desired Effect element's Property Pages:
