of message signatures, or message signature parameter names to visually represent
communication in interactions.
To customize the default settings for messages:

expand Diagrams, and click Sequence and
Communication Diagrams.

complete the following steps:

signatures instead of Message signatures.
- To show message or operation signatures globally, select Always
show signatures (overrides individual Message settings).
- To show parameter names in message signatures in the <parameter
name> = <argument value> format instead of values only, select Use
"<parameter name> = <value>" notation in Message signatures.
- Click OK.
