Tagged Value Sections

Tagged Values can be reported:

  • As a group using a section, and
  • Individually using valueOf() fields

The following objects and connectors support Tagged Values:

  • Package Element
  • Element
  • Connector (and Source and Target elements)
  • Attribute
  • Operation (Method)
  • External Requirement

Each of these has an associated section in the RTF template editor, which includes both a Tagged Value subsection and the ability to insert a valueOf() field.

The valueOf Field

For the objects defined above you can add a valueOf() field to report a specific Tagged Value

To insert the field, right-click between the appropriate set of section tags and select the Insert Field | valueOf option, as shown for a Connector section below:

RTFTemplateContent

When you select the valueOf field from the context menu, the template editor prompts you to specify the Tagged Value from which to extract the value for the report output; this tag should be one of the tags associated with the model component, such as ConnectorAltName for a connector

When you provide the tag name, the template editor adds the field at the cursor position, in the format:

                      {Connector.valueOf(tagname)}

For example:

                      {Connector.valueOf(ConnectorAltName)}

For clarity, you could type some lead-in text or the meaning of the Tagged Value immediately preceding the value field; for example:

                      Alternative Name: {Connector.valueOf(ConnectorAltName)}
