The Caption tab enables you to define a heading for the current component. By default, only group elements, both simple and complex, are drawn within the frame. In this way, you can better visualize the grouping. However, you can define a frame or another kind of heading for each individual component.
The cardinality definition of the current component from the XML schema specifies whether a frame is drawn as optional or not. (0 = optional, 1 = mandatory).

In the above example, all the visualization categories have been used, producing the expected and distinct visual effect. For the composition „shipTo" (1) the border was selected. The element „billTo" (2) is represented as a title. Finally, the option „paymentMethod" (3) is shown as a modern dividing line, and the input field „comment" (4) as a classical dividing line.
