Find Tagged value of EA Package

[syedmohdtauseef]

Hi

For last few days I have been working on EA.

I am trying to find the "tagged value" of Package from project Browser either through the right click or from the menu option "Element" but I am not able to read. Although I am able to read the "Tagged Value" of an element from the Diagram view. But in the case of Package the Menu option is not active.

If it is not possible to read the Tagged Value of a Package then is it possible to create custom tagged value for a package.

Can anyone help me in finding out the tagged value of a package.

Hi Touseef,

A few versions ago EA changed the way tagged values were displayed. Since then I don't think the documentation has entirely caught up.

What you need to do is to open the Tagged Values window. You can do this from the View menu, or with the control-shift-6 hot key combination. Note that this window can be kept open while you work with your project, and can be docked. If docked, it will be open by default next time you open EA. [I often dock it with the Properties window, and the new Pan and Zoom window, and keep them under the Project Browser. You should consider finding a layout you like and making it your default EA desktop.]

From the Tagged Values window you can view, add, modify and delete tagged values for the element selected on a diagram or in the Project Browser. This latter mode works well for elements that might not appear in any diagram in your model.

Hi

Can we programmetically define (i.e. create new ) tagged value for selected package in model hierarchy and letter that these defined tagged value can be accessed by C# interface in EA.

Rashid,
it is fairly easy to do that when writing and add-in. You just have to select the package and let the add-in go through the package and amend whatever Tag you need. It takes some hours of effort to start, but there are some examples provided with the EA installation that should bring you to a quick start. I even managed to do it with Perl quite easily.
