Information Exchange Panel
The 'Information Exchange' panel provides an icon for displaying the 'External Data' window, through which you gain access to external data sources via the Cloud Server.
It also provides an icon for each enabled MDG Technology available in your installation of Enterprise Architect. This topic identifies some of the Technologies that might be represented here. Each Technology icon displays a drop-down list of options for working with the Technology. These options might include:
- Help - open the Help file for the Technology
- About - display a short panel of information on your installation of the Add-In
- Connect to External Model - connect to a project created in another application, to which the Technology provides a bridge
- Import <data> - import data defined in the Technology into Enterprise Architect
- Export <data> - export data from Enterprise Architect to data structures specific to the Technology
Available Facilities
Not all of these Technologies will be shown, and others might be available in the panel.

System Integration |
This icon opens the External Data facility for defining how the data from external sources is represented in Enterprise Architect. When developing a model in Enterprise Architect you could connect to an external application such as TFS or JIRA as the data source. You would then indicate how data items in one application are reflected in the other. Subsequently, you can check the pairings of data items from separate external tools, using the 'Show All Linked Items' menu option. |
