Resource Documents
When you set the parameters on the Generate Documentation dialog to define an output document as you need it, you might want to re-use that configuration to obtain a consistent view of changes to your model over time. You can capture the configuration as a Resource Document, which saves the:
| · | Package name |
| · | Output file destination |
| · | Template |
| · | Output format |
| · | Options page settings |
| · | Exclude Filters |
| · | Element Filters and |
| · | Other Filters |
The document is saved into the Document Generation > Defined Documents folder of the Resources window. Saving your often-used report configurations as Resource Documents can simplify future document generation, both in producing specific documents and in batch-generating all documents or a selection of documents.

The dialog lists all resource documents in the Defined Documents folder, defaulted to selected; deselect the checkbox against each document that you do not want to generate (or click on the Deselect All button to clear all selections, then select those you require). Click on the OK button to generate each of the remaining reports into their respective target file locations. Alternatively, to automatically generate every document in the Defined Documents folder, without displaying the Batch Document Generation dialog, click on the Generate All Documents context menu option.
