• Create Packages, Stereotypes, and Tag Definitions.
• Define valid Model Item Types for a Stereotype.
• Define target Model Item Types and Stereotypes for reference Tag Definitions.
• Define Stereotype inheritance.
You can create a Profile Diagram through the context menu of a Package: right-click the Package, and select > > > . Alternatively, if you have configured to display New Diagram in the Quick Access Toolbar, select > .
